Description
Summary:Concerns over security for energy sources have led many countries to concentrate on obtaining renewable energy sources. In fact, Malaysia has also studied various alternative energy sources including wind energy. However, the terrain of Malaysia does not allow strong winds to move the wind turbines. Therefore, initial efforts to harness energy from the wind were not very successful. Therefore, this study has improved previous studies by highlighting the concept of vertical axis wind turbine using Magnus effect concept.
