Rotates around a vertical axis.

A vertical-axis wind turbine is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine.

Savonius wind turbines are a type of vertical-axis wind turbine, used for converting the force of the wind into torque on a rotating shaft.

Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines or urban wind turbines, are wind turbines that generate electricity for small-scale use.

An offshore wind turbine mounted on a floating structure that allows the turbine to generate electricity in water depths where fixed-foundation turbines are not feasible.

the process of defining the form and configuration of a wind turbine to extract energy from the wind.
