The project designed several types of VAWT blades with the goal of maximizing the efficiency of a shrouded Turbine .
used a wind simulation software program, WASP, to analyze existing wind data measured on the roofs of various WPI buildings. Scale-model tests were performed in the WPI closed-circuit wind tunnel. An RPM meter and a 12 volt step generator were used to measure turbine rotation speeds and power output at different wind speeds. The project also
