Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are far less common that the standard wind mill type wind turbine. However for many inner city and domestic applications VAWT's are far better suited to the prevailing conditions (low levels of turbulent wind).
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are typically much more difficult to find and purchase than their horizonal axis brothers, however there are suppliers out there which offer affordable VAWT packages.
