Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Generator
Modern style wind power generators and wind turbines fall into two core categories:
Horizontal axis wind turbine generators and vertical axis wind turbine generators.
A vertical axis wind turbine generator takes the form of an eggbeater style design and a Horizontal-axis wind turbine generator has generally two or three blades.

The three-bladed/propeller wind turbines are situated facing into the wind and are placed as high as possible above ground level where the wind force is generally stronger.
A vertical axis wind turbine generator is positioned so that the main rotor shaft is set vertically. Among the advantages of this arrangement are that generators and gearboxes and vertical wind turbine generator parts can be placed close to the ground, and that the vertical axis wind turbine generator does not need to be pointed into the wind.
Diamond Industrial Ltd supplies a full range of alternators that are compatible with both Horizontal-axis wind turbine generators and vertical axis wind turbine generators. Contact one of our specialist support team today to discuss your requirements
