Design And Fabrication of Highway Wind Turbine

Abstract

To save the fuel and power and to overcome skilled labour shortage, most of the devices should be operated by non-conventional energy. The main aim of this project work is to acquire practical knowledge in the field of non-conventional energy using wind is generated through by a wind turbine which is operated by the wind. This turbine unit has three blades which are rotated by the wind force. These blades are made 1mm thickness tin sheet in order to reduce the self-weight fitted in a shaft housed with bearing. The output of the shaft is connected to DC generator which supplies the electrical energy used to charge the battery. A two-way is also connected to the battery to connect charging mode and discharging mode. This whole arrangement is mounted in a flat metal plate.
