Vertical-axis wind turbine

A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind energy generator with a rotor arrangement that spins around a vertical axis, perpendicular to the ground. Unlike traditional horizontal-axis turbines, VAWTs can catch wind from any direction without needing to turn. They are often quieter, easier to maintain, and suitable for urban or confined spaces. VAWTs can operate efficiently at lower wind speeds and are used for small-scale electricity generation, providing a sustainable and renewable energy source with versatile installation options.
