The present crisis though which world passes now has become responsible for the scientific technological development that will take place in the next centrury. Among the various alternative aources in existence eolic energy has become one of the most outstanding, mainly by the use of the windmills (weathervane). Windimille are flow machines that convert wind kinetic energy into other of energy, whitch provide substancial goods to mankind. The present work deals wind kinetic energy into other of energy, which provide substancial goods to mankind. The present work deals with the theoretical-experimental development of the resistance rotor, of the vertical axle type, known as Savonius or commonly as S Rotor. One of the basic aims of the savonius type turbine is to develop techonology and to obtain experience in the operation of windmills, specially aiming at the desing and construction of large sinze unit ies. The analysis of performace of the rotor is made base on a simplified mathematical model. By means of experimental values, non admimensional curves of torque (Ct) and power (Cp), verusu speed rate (E) were obtained, and are usefull in predicting the rotor s performace. Through this procedure the analysis of various forms of geometryc rotors was performed. Finally, comparing the experimental results with the theory developed, curves of entry coeficient (Ko) related to the spedd rate ware obtarned for rotors of sami-circunferencial blades configuration only.
