Abstract
A rotor system comprising at least a rotor adapted to rotate with respect to a stator, the rotor system further comprising a densifier adapted to densify gas of an upstream volume by an average density rise of at least about 1%, wherein the cross-section area of the volume is the rotor sweeping area and the depth of the volume is at least about one millimeter.

A rotor system for a wind turbine, comprising at least a rotor adapted to rotate with respect to a stator, the rotor system further comprising a densifier comprising at least one ionizer adapted to ionize air of an upstream volume so as to densify air of the upstream volume by an average density rise of at least 1%, wherein said upstream volume has a cross-section area which is a rotor sweeping area and a depth at least one millimeter, wherein the at least one ionizer comprises a processor adapted to determine a discharge frequency of the ionizer as a function of at least one wind flow parameter chosen among wind speed, wind direction, wind composition and wind turbulence, and wherein the at least one ionizer is adapted to generate discharges at said discharge frequency.
