Designing, fabrication, testing and evaluation of vertical axis straight bladed Darrius type wind turbine are done. Calculations are carried out for a specified load, then Darrius type wind turbine, having the capacity to drive that load is designed. The airfoils of turbine are symmetrical with good lift to drag ratio. Initially turbine with fixed blade is designed, fabricated and its performance evaluated in lab with real wind. Efficiency has been calculated by testing the turbine with and without load.
