The Turby turbine is a vertical-axis Darrieus wind turbine. The three vertical aerofoil blades have a helical twist of 60 degrees. Since the wind pulls each blade around on both the windward and leeward sides of the turbine, this feature spreads the torque evenly over the entire revolution, thus preventing the destructive pulsations of the straight-bladed giromill. Starting is achieved by operating the generator as a motor.

Another advantage of the helical twist is that the blades generate torque well from upward-slanting airflow. This is negligible in open country, but tall buildings and cliff faces generate a bow wave which directs airflow up and over them.
