This presentation summarizes the generation of direct current (DC) using a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). It includes a block diagram of the VAWT system, measurements of wind speed and velocity, descriptions of the project components including the permanent magnet generator, blades, and a graph of the results. The team designed and tested a VAWT that converts kinetic wind energy to mechanical power using a generator, then to DC power which is stored or used to power loads.
