Abstract
A system and apparatus for wind energy conversion comprising a Savonius style rotor attached to a drive shaft; a first airfoil configured to block air pressure along a return side of the rotor; an airfoil cowling configured to direct blocked air on the return side of the rotor to intersect with air on the drive side of the rotor; at least one vacuum compensator configured on a top edge of the first airfoil wherein the at least one vacuum compensator redirects the blocked air on the return side of the rotor onto the driven side of the rotor; an anemometer; a wind direction indicator; and a computer system operatively connected to the roller and track assembly wherein the computer system adjusts the orientation of the rotor according to a wind speed measured by the anemometer and a wind direction measured by the wind direction indicator.
