These are wind powered strange looking fans (they don't even look like fans!) that have centre axle sticking up rather than sideways.

The do all the normal junk, pump water make electricity etc.

Describe this alternative wind energy source?

Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are an alternative wind energy source that operates on a vertical rotation axis, unlike the traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines. VAWTs are designed to capture wind from any direction, making them suitable for urban and residential settings where wind patterns may vary. These turbines are generally quieter and easier to maintain compared to horizontal-axis turbines.

How do Darrieus wind turbines differ from Brush wind turbines?

Darrieus wind turbines have a vertical axis and rely on lift forces to spin the blades, while Brush wind turbines have a horizontal axis and capture wind with a larger rotor diameter. Darrieus turbines are typically smaller and better suited for urban environments, while Brush turbines are larger and more efficient for utility-scale applications.


Do wind turbines come in different shapes?

Yes, wind turbines come in different shapes and sizes depending on the design and intended use. The most common shape is the horizontal-axis turbine with three blades, but vertical-axis turbines and other designs also exist for specific applications. Different shapes can affect efficiency, performance, and cost of wind turbines.

Is a vertical like on the Y axis or the X axis?

The vertical axis is the y-axis. The horizontal axis is the x-axis.


Is the X axis on the horizontal or vertical axis?

The x axis is the horizontal axis. The y axis is the vertical axis.


Is the y-axis vertical or horizontal?

The y axis is vertical and the x axis is horizontal.


Which axis is the X and Y on?

The y-axis is vertical and the x-axis is horizontal.


What is the definition of vertical axis?

The vertical axis is a reference axis usually denoted as y-axis in Cartesian co-ordinate system. It can be said that a vertical axis is the axis perpendicular to a reference horizontal surface.
