Abstract
A high solidity, small scale, 2.5m diameter by 3m high Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) consisting of three NACA 0015 profile blades, each with a span of 3m and a chord length of 0.4m, was tested in an open-air wind tunnel facility to investigate the effects of preset toe-in and toe-out turbine blade pitch. The effect of blade mount-point offset was also investigated. The results from these tests are presented for a range of tip speed ratios, and compared with an extensive base data set obtained for a nominal wind speed of 10m/s. Results show measured performance decreases of up to 47% for toe-in, and increases of up to 29% for toe-out blade pitch angles, relative to the zero preset pitch case. Also, blade mount-point offset tests indicate decreases in performance as the mount location is moved from mid-chord towards the leading edge, as a result of an inherent toe-in condition. Observations indicate that these performance decreases may be minimized by compensating for the blade mount offset with a toe-out preset pitch. The trends of the preset blade pitch tests agree with those found in literature for much lower solidity turbines.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
