The main goal of this project is to design and construct a vertical axis wind turbine that will generate electricity. We can generate electricity on a small scale by building a vertical axis wind turbine with helical shape blades, as vertical axis wind turbines can accept wind from any direction, making them omnidirectional.

The gearbox and generator are positioned at the base of the turbine, which makes maintenance easy. ... With less number of blades, this design is more efficient, as each blade provides maximum torque ...
The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine is a wind power generation design that puts the main rotor shaft transverse to the wind. The main components of the system are located at the base of the tower on which the vertical blades sit. This differs from the more common Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT), where the blades attached at the horizontal …
