horizontal axis and vertical axis wind turbine

Wind turbines are devices that convert wind into energy. Wind turbines are generally of two types: the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) and the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). Jiangsu DHC would like to help you, along the way, understanding more about how these wind turbines work and why they are helpful.

Horizontal wind turbines have big blades that rotate, much like a big fan. It turns the blades when the wind is blowing. The rotating blades are attached to a generator that creates electricity. One advantage of horizontal axis wind turbines that they have a big capacity to generate electricity. They are commonly seen in huge wind farms where several turbines can work in tandem to generate even greater amounts of energy. This energy can be used to light homes, schools, and even cities!

The efficiency of vertical axis wind turbines explained

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines? In place of spinning blades, vertical axis wind turbines have blades that go up and down, much like the small airplanes that travel round and round on a pole in a merry-go-round. These turbines work especially well in areas that see the wind change directions. And too, vertical axis wind turbines are useful for smaller tasks. They can be used to power streetlights or water pumps out in the boonies.
