Lynx Vawt with new airfoil rotor vanes
For Plans: go to this website and scroll to the first post in the thread. I highly recommend the smaller 4'H x 3'D version seen in the video. Just adjust the dimensions.

In this video you can see the increase in speed from the re-designed rotor vanes. The vanes are angled in a way you wouldn't think would work. The airfoil gains lift as the rotor spins. The airfoils are cutting a path around the turbine and lift is at a slight tangent to the axis.
