rule of thumb on a vawt is tsr=1
while it is true that some do achieve more, units like my dual helix are still: tsr=1.
experience has hammered home one fact to me: design it for sufficient torque then find a workable way to gear it up for more speed if ya need it.
note: generator design can help the thing work better at the speeds it produces.
note: when you gear for speed you need more torque than you do for 1 to 1 gearing
