A method and system are provided for converting wind power into electrical energy. One or more blades are attached by one or more struts to a vertical or central shaft, wherein each strut mechanically couples at least one of the blades to the shaft. One or more blades may be laminar. An optional method of fabricating a wind turbine blade, or fluid turbine blade, wherein the blade may be manufactured by a pultrusion process; may present a constant blade twist along a central axis of the blade itself; and/or may present a cross-section along the blade central axis. Alternatively or additionally, an airfoil is provided may be laminar and/or uncambered. According to a still additional optional aspect of the method of the present invention, a Darrieus-type vertical-axis wind turbine is provided, the turbine having a shaft that defines a rotation axis with a plurality of substantially rigid blades.
