    The document summarizes an experiment to compare the effectiveness of different types of small wind turbine designs. Models of common wind turbines, including horizontal axis and vertical axis designs, were tested in a wind tunnel. Voltage, current and wind speed were measured to evaluate the power output and performance of Savonius, Darrieus, twisted Savonius, Giromill and horizontal axis turbine designs. The results showed differences in the power outputs and efficiencies of the various wind turbine types tested.
