Impartial study - V.A.W.T./H.A.W.T.

[barn]

Hi all,

I'm seeking (ideally a case study) a side-by-side, impartial comparison of Vertical and Horizontal axis Wind Turbines.

 

No pitch-sale or willingly omitted, partial facts.

Scientific papers, video clips... anything really if you have seen any that is fair and square.

Some updates... (adding more over time)
