Abstract: The design is described of a windmill with blades articulated by means of cam contours. The choice of a suitable cam contour is discussed, and several alternatives are presented. Performance predictions are described for a six-flap, horizontal-axis windmill model with a selected cam contour. Windtunnel experiments have been conducted on this model and performance improvements are suggested. Predictions and experimental findings agree well.
