Abstract

There is described a rotor for a vertical axis wind turbine comprising: first and second blades connected to one another and arranged to rotate around an axis; wherein the first and second blades are disposed 180° apart with respect to one another and are offset from the axis in a radial direction; wherein an inner edge of each blade is spaced radially inwardly from an outer edge of the opposing blade to form a pair of diametrically opposed openings which open in opposite directions; wherein each of the first and second blades comprises a first curved section and a second oppositely curved section, the first and second curved sections being separated by a point of inflection; and wherein the first and second curved sections of the first and second blades overlap one another to form a passageway between the first and second blades which extends between the openings.
