Abstract
Although many types of small wind turbines have been introduced to the market such as Darius, Savonius, and Ducted, none of these conventional products succeeded to gain users' satisfaction due to their problems such as excessive rotation speed, noise, vibration, visual impact, and electric consumption upon starting. Featuring unique loop-shape blades, Loopwing Wind Turbine is a whole new type of wind turbine that solves the problems faced by the conventional small wind turbines and brings about an innovation to the wind power industry. In this report, I introduce the design concept, experimental performances, educational kit and products as its developer and suplier.
