Increasing demand in energy facilitated the need of clean energy such as wind energy. Residences, buildings and commercial sites needs more power, but also continuous power. Important facilities such as wireless or radio sets requires small amount of energy, but with a continuous supply. This project was done to design and construct a vertical axis wind turbine for small scale use. After an introduction about the historical background of wind turbine, the report deals with a more accurate analysis of the main type of vertical axis wind turbine, showing their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, differences between vertical axis wind turbine and horizontal axis wind turbine and their operations. The parameter of the wind turbines was discussed and the generators (stator) that can be used to connect the wind mill to the electricity grid are reported as well. Several statistics are also presented, in order to explain how the development of the wind energy in Nigeria. Results from trials shows that as the speed increases, there is increase in voltage and this in turn implies a watt change at different speeds. This also implies that when there is high wind, there is a higher rpm. The turbine fulfilled all specifications such as efficiency above 80%, 33Watt output power and likewise the capacity is adequate for its purpose and was proven to be efficient in generation of current.
