wind turbine savonius at low wind

[jelasada]

This model just to see how the turbine works in low wind cond. So the point is i found that this model works pretty well in low wind but in strong wind not so good / low rpm maybe cos' its got flat surface

Looks like fun. Remember, though - low wind, low energy - maybe 1/10 of 1 Watt if you're lucky. OK for lawn ornaments, but not useful for work. The trick is to build a wind turbine that can harness the energy in heavy winds without getting shredded. Therefore the commonly heard phrase "it turns in a breath of wind" is a compliment to the bearings, mostly. My rule of thumb is you've got to hear the wind whistling through the trees before there's enough there to do any work.
