Abstract

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is a wind power plant with many advantages, especially as a renewable energy source. Through the pocket of Science–Technology–Engineering–Art–Mathematics (STEAM) learning, this study designs a VAWT and explores the potential of this tool for learning. This study used a mixed-method embedded design with an experimental and interview type. The research results show that the influence of the number of blades and wind speed on voltage, current strength, and power is directly proportional. Therefore, VAWT can also be used as one of the projects for STEAM-based learning. © 2023 Iqbal Ainur Rizki, Nadi Suprapto & Eko Hariyono; published by UIKTEN.
