Research project: Design and Analysis of a modified Drag-Type wind turbine utilizing a supplementary constrained Degree of Freedom to maximize torque output

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the possibility of optimizing torque output by reducing negative drag in the leeward blades of drag-type turbine, I intend to achieve this by by introducing a constrained additional degree of freedom to the design schematic.
