Abstract

This project is on the development of small scale of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) for the used in small-households. To objectives of this project are to design, fabricate, test and analyze the Giromill or H-Darrieus type wind turbine. The wind turbine is positioned on a base made by mild steel. The turbine is attached with different number of blade. The blade model uses a catalog of NACA four digit airfoils which is NACA 0020 and fabricated by using aluminum. Experiment analysis performed in order of comparing the power generated between the two, three and six blades.
