The performance characteristics of vertical-axis wind rotors with the control mechanism of blades are studied. The results of experimental researches in a hydrotray and a wind tunnel are given. The self-start of such wind rotors at low speeds of the incident flow, a significant increase in both the operating ratio of a flow energy and the torque moment, and a decrease of the wind loads on the shaft relative to Darrieu-type wind rotors with rigidly fixed blades are demonstrated.
