| dc.description.abstract | Wind energy is one of the non conventional forms of energy and it is available in
affluence. Electricity can be generated with the help of vertical axis wind turbine. This
projects aims of utilizing this wind energy in most effective manner to get the maximum
electric output, and therefore we selected highway as our installation site where we can
take the advantage of the moving vehicles on both the sides of the road. In the present
work, turbine is design and fabricated as per the specifications, the blades used are semi circular shape and are connected to the disc which is connected to shaft. Shaft is then
coupled with pulley with the help of bearing, and then pulley is connected to the alternator,
which generates the power. The power developed is stored in battery and used it to road
indication light for vehicle safety. In this project a small model has been created for testing
purpose. This project also aims for maximum output with minimum cost indulges, so that
the government can think over this project and can implement this type of vertical axis
wind turbine on highways at low cost | en_US |
