Among the many types of wind turbine, most of them failed in efficiency because of the higher rotating speed required in other conventional<br>horizontal axis wind turbine. Another vertical axis wind turbine suffers unbalance torque between the right and left side which<br>causes vibration. Loopwing horizontal axis wind turbine is operated at low rotating speed without reducing energy efficiency.<br>There is no vortex discharge and noise because loopwing horizontal axis wind turbine has strip ribbons as its blade tip portion<br>ends in a loop shape. Loopwing horizontal axis wind turbine blade is designed by the using of basic design formula such as<br>angular momentum theory, blade element theory. The NASA SC(2)-0402 is chosen as the loopwing horizontal axis wind turbine<br>blade profile by comparing it with a similar airfoil shape from the results of Profili Software. The model of loopwing horizontal<br>axis wind turbine is drawn by using Solidworks 2018. Performance testing is carried out on the roof of Main-Building at<br>Mandalay Technological University. The wind turbine hub is placed 14.6 m above the ground. The material of loop type blade<br>wind turbine is stainless steel. The performance analysis of loopwing horizontal axis wind turbine is emphasized in this research.<br>This loop type blade wind turbine can be started wind speed at 1.5m/s and cut-out wind speed at 12m/s. Electrical power output<br>can be produced by about 100 W by the following horizontal axis wind generator at rated wind speed 6m/s. Rotor diameter is<br>1.5m and the no. of the blade is three and the tip speed ratio is 5</p> ER -
