The new world boom for wind turbines obliged
inventors to create new wind turbine designs that have high
efficiency and better then known designs. This paper proposes
the impeller wind turbine, which uses more effectively the wind
energy and depends only on the acting area of the vanes. The
vane wind turbine is designed to increase the drag force
coefficient of turbine vane that uses kinetic energy of the wind.
New design is decrease the negative torque, and can be used
worldwide due to its high efficiency. The competitiveness and
environmental advantages of wind energy are obvious.
