The Status of the U.S. VAWT Program
Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) technology in the United States started in the early 1970s directly from the original work in Canada. The close, and very productive relationships among laboratories, universities and industry have continued since that time. This paper briefly discusses the significant technical progress and rather dramatic programmatic changes that have occurred in the past 18 to 24 months on the US side of the border. 20 refs., 14 figs.
