Which type of axis does a Savonius Rotor has?(a) Horizontal axis(b) Mediolateral axis(c) Vertical axis(d) Lateral AxisThis question was addressed to me in class test.This is a very interesting question from Vertical Axis Wind Mill in chapter Wind Energy of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (c) Vertical axis

The explanation is: A Savonius wind energy conversion system has a vertical axis and hence eliminates the expensive power transmission system from the ROTOR to the axis. Since it is a vertical axis MACHINE it does not matter MUCH about the wind direction.
