Zusammenfassung:Background: According to the Asia Wind Energy Association, Brunei can harness the power of wind energy to meet its future demands for a reliable energy source that is both renewable and non-polluting. Objective: A preliminary study to design and manufacture wind turbines needs to be initiated earlier especially in the Brunei with has potential wind energy. Methods: This preliminary study compares several Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) types and examines the optimal design in terms of mechanical parts for wind speed characteristics in Brunei. The project focuses on the engineering design stages to obtain a selected design that differs from other available designs. Results: The preliminary study successfully generated a small amount of electricity from the mechanical rotation of the VAWT. Conclusion: Although the preliminary study can generate a small amount of electricity, several design parameters need to be improved in further study. Proper manufacturing technologies are also needed to fabricate a better VAWT.
