Abstract
In this paper the computer aided design and manufacture of a rot with winglet for performance enhancement of a vertical axis wind turbine is presented. Both computer numerical control milling and rapid prototyping have been used in the manufacture of the rotor. The rotor was then tested for performance using the large wind tunnel of the Aerodynamics laboratory of University of New South Wales. The results show substantial improvement of the rotor with the winglets installed.
