A vertical axis fluid energy conversion device is provided. The vertical axis fluid energy conversion device includes at least one lift blade and at least one Magnus rotor. A power source drives the Magnus rotor to rotate and the Magnus lift force is produced. The Magnus rotor is connected with a main shaft through a connection component. Consequently, the main shaft is rotated and the lift blade is also revolved. The flow field of the vertical axis fluid energy conversion device is less influenced by the Magnus rotor. The performance of the lift blade is better. The whole efficiency is enhanced. The vertical axis fluid energy conversion device is self-starting through the Magnus rotor. The power source only drives the Magnus rotor to rotate, but not drive the whole device. Therefore, the vertical axis fluid energy conversion device has advantages of low cost and low energy consumption.
