The report KD 601: Ideas about a self starting, 3-bladed H-Darrieus rotor for water pumping has been added at the menu KD-reports. This reports describes the idea to make a H-Darrieus rotor self starting without loosing the advantage that the rotor accepts wind from any direction. It also gives a design procedure for the rotor derived from the design procedure of a horizontal axis wind turbine. The angle of attack and the lift coefficient are determined for 12 positions of a blade.
