Hello everyone. New forum user here who is trying to get into designing wind turbines. (I have an academic background in CAD modeling) Was searching on Youtube for "new VAWT design", "next generation VAWT" and similar when I found this crazy design: I honestly couldn't figure out how...

ENGINEERING EXPLAINED: The COMPLETELY NEW Category of Revolving-Wing VAWT Turbines use a SINGLE straight, expertly shaped, non-helical AIRFOIL to translate AERODYNAMIC LIFT-FORCE into a fast, sustained 360 DEGREE ROTATION around a vertical SHAFT which goes through the center-line of the Wing. Instead of a fast moving Blade continuously cutting rapidly through INCOMING WIND as is the case in almost ALL VAWT Turbine designs, lowering the efficiency of the turbine, this new Revolving Wing VAWT Rotor FLIPS OVER RAPIDLY IN-PLACE in wind using aerodynamic lift-force without moving horizontally or vertically, and does NOT cut through it.
