Abstract

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a horizontal micro-wind turbine that is capable of lighting and charging low power devices. This wind turbine will be called Bagwis, a Filipino term meaning feather. It features a modular wind diffuser which is capable to connect with other “Bagwis” unit and its accessories. 3D printing will be utilized in all parts concerning the fabrication of design. The case diffuser theoretically increases wind speed up to 41 percent which yields a power increase up to 181.32 percent.
