Abstract: An improved blade for a wind turbine incorporates a planar member. The planar member has a leading surface, a trailing surface, an inboard side, an outboard side, an inner impulse surface, an outer impulse surface. The inner impulse surface and outer impulse surface are used for the purpose of actuating the wind turbine from a state of rest and for the purpose of imparting turbulence. By producing a breakdown in the laminar flow between the impulse surface and the trailing surface the improved blade will rotate slower thereby decreasing the amount of wear and tear to the wind turbine.
