The Rutland VertX 360 Windcharger utilises a vertical axis configuration, meaning its main rotor shaft is set vertically. This architecture, coupled with a specifically engineered, compact Savonius turbine design, offers a distinct operational advantage to the horizontal rotor design: the turbine is inherently omni-directional. Crucially, this design also minimises noise pollution, allowing the unit to maintain silent operation and high efficiency even when deployed in urban, highway or solar hybrid environments, where turbulent airflows can ...
