Abstract

The device called “Intelligent Wind Turbine with Vertical Axis of Rotation”, was designed at the Institute of Aviation in Warsaw. This paper presents the process of determining the coordinates of its cam wheel. Properly made control track is a key element of a working turbine prototype, because it allows precise setting of the angle of attack of the turbine blades as a function of the rotor’s rotation angle in relation to the wind direction. Fulfillment of this condition allows the blade to be optimally positioned, which will allow to obtain maximum power for the predicted wind speed.
