Given: DS = 20 inches
γ = tan-1(R1/S1)
ARS = 0.75(enough to start the rotor)
γ = tan-1(9/24)
β = 0.25(the best efficiency is between 0.20 to 0.30)

To determine the Height of Savonius, use Eq. 6
I. Wind Profiling
HS = (ARS)(DS)
HS = (0.75) (20) = 15 inches The wind profiling is done for each wind turbine as
the researchers measure the wind speed of each wind turbine.
To determine the Shaft Allowance, use Eq. 7 The test will convey into the location of the wind turbines to
determine the change of wind speed for every hour pass by.
β = (rα - α) / DHC
