Mostly Bangladesh is a flat land with average wind speed of around 3.5 m/s. However in the coastal areas wind speed reaches up to 7-9 m/s. The potential of deploying low speed wind turbines is promising. With these view, a low speed vertical axis wind turbine together with a wind generator have been designed which can work at low speed of wind available in Bangladesh. The wind turbine and wind generator have been fabricated using locally available materials and fabrication technology. The output of the generator should be 250 W and usable watts should be at least 200 W at low cost. The generator will produce power at 450 rpm. A pulley system power drive is used to rotate the generator.
