Abstract
This report describes a prototype wind turbine for wind power generation. This wind turbine is designed to fit in both lower wind and urban circumstances like Amagasaki city. Therefore, it belongs to drag type rotor with multi blades. After six months measurements of wind speed and wind direction, it is located horizontally toward the north-northeast. The power and torque properties of this rotor proved to be similar to those of a cross flow rotor through experiments with an open wind tunnel. And it attains activation in the wind velocity of 0.3m/s and starts generation in 0.7m/s.
