Abstract

The Savonius Rotor is a vertical-shaft wind-machine, developed by the Finnish engineer. S. J. Savonius, during the years 1925—28. A test program was carried out on this type of machine by the Brace Research Institute to find out its potentialities for low cost water pumping. From the tests the following conclusions can be drawn: The Savonius Rotor, although not as efficient as a windmill of comparable size, lends itself to water pumping for irrigation in underdeveloped areas due to its low initial cost, simplicity of materials and construction. and low maintenance cost...
