In this work, experiments have been performed on different geometries and shapes of Savonius rotor and the most suited parameters have been found. The blade shape factor (p/q) for Bach type blades has been taken 0.4 and 0.2 by fixing the blade arc angle 124 . Experiments have been performed on them with different overlap ratios, from 10%, 15% and 25% and also use of concentrating arrangements has been made. Conventional Savonius rotors (single-stage and double-stage) have also been tested with end plates and without overlap variation. The comparison has been made among these rotors for...
