Experimental Prototype of High-Efficiency Wind Turbine Based on Magnus Effect

The main feature of Magnus wind turbine is the ability to produce energy at low wind speed. This benefit lets to use such types of turbines in smart homes, which are an important part of the development of distributed energy systems, growth of blockchain electricity technology and needs for duplication of the solar energy system in the private buildings. This paper presents topology of two cylinders Magnus wind turbine in order to ensure the highest values of power coefficient and the Magnus force. The optimal ratio of wind speed and cylinder rotation speed were detected to eliminate the oscillations caused by the Von Karman vortex street phenomenon.
