Why a Savonius turbine design?

Why a Savonius turbine design?

 It’s understandable that there’s a lot of confusion surrounding this topic. When you do an internet search for “wind turbine efficiencies,” most of the time you find a graph showing Savonius turbines with the lowest ratings. The magic of the internet makes people think just because they found a quick answer that it’s the RIGHT answer.

However, that isn’t always true. In this case, if you dig deeper in your search, you’ll find a variation to the graph, showing Savonius turbines with higher ratings. It seems that two little arrows in the graph were switched in some publications back in the 1950’s or 60’s, and the incorrect graph continued to be published for decades.   (https://www.turbinesinfo.com/innovative-wind-turbines/)

Harmony Turbines hopes to RIGHT this WRONG! Our discussions with our partner engineering universities confirmed that they are also aware of this discrepancy in the graphs and have been teaching their students about this mishap for years. So Savonius Turbines are definitely something worth looking into. It’s why we are eager to see the data that OUR patented design brings to the table.
