Wind electric generator

The Wind Electric Generator project aims to develop a compact and efficient renewable energy solution by harnessing wind power for electricity generation. Given the growing demand for sustainable energy sources, this study focuses on optimizing wind turbine design for enhanced performance, cost effectiveness, and adaptability to various environmental conditions. The primary objective is to design, fabricate, and test a wind electric generator that can operate efficiently even at low wind speeds, making it suitable for small-scale applications. The methodology involves computational modelling using SolidWorks to simulate turbine aerodynamics, followed by material selection and prototype fabrication. A pulley system is integrated to optimize energy transfer from the rotating blades to a DC generator, which then charges a battery for power storage. Experimental testing evaluates power output, structural stability, and operational efficiency under different wind conditions. Preliminary results demonstrate that the optimized design enhances energy capture efficiency while maintaining low production costs. The prototype successfully generates electricity with minimal mechanical resistance, making it a viable alternative for off-grid applications. However, challenges such as wind variability and mechanical wear require further refinements.
