What form of force acts on the blades of Darrieus machine?(a) Pure tension(b) Compression(c) Shear force(d) Air resistance forceI had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.The question is from Vertical Axis Wind Mill topic in division Wind Energy of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Correct option is (a) PURE tension

Easy explanation: Darrieus wind mill has two or three thin, curved blades with airfoil cross SECTION and constant chord length. Both ends of blades are attached to a VERTICAL shaft. Thus the force in the blade due to ROTATION is pure tension.
