Savonius: a vertical axis rotor developed by S. I. Savonius in the 1920's
--resembles two halves of a barrel in the letter "s" configuration.

A much better design and much more efficient is the Darrieus Rotors.

Darrieus: a vertical axis wind system invented by G. M. Darrieus of France
in l925 (often referred to as the "eggbeater" because of the rotor shape).
