Abstract
Parts of each Bach-type blade of a conventional Savonius rotor have been replaced by four flaps. These flaps open when moving into the wind, so the drag on the blade is then reduced. Thus approximately a 35% increase in average static torque has been achieved relative to that obtained with the original rotor of similar geometry, both experiencing an undisturbed wind of 6.67 ms/sup -1/. The torque developed over the whole rotation is positive, which is not the case with the conventional rotor.
