The rotor blades are airfoils that have their length nearly parallel to the wind. Much like an airplane with slight wing incidence. On the back side of the rotor the airfoil is reversed and so lift is always a tangent to the center of rotation. There is quite a bit of drag force as the wing turns downwind, but no drag coming upwind due to vacuum.
Nice, well built . Good video
