Abstract

A vertical axis wind turbine has a stationary circular core and a rotor rotatably supported about the stationary core. The rotor has a radially extending rotor arm with a wind engaging blade locate at its distal end. The blade has at least two straight blade sections of which at least one blade section is inclined obliquely at a first angle.
