Mobile power bank using small vertical axis wind (VAWT) generator / Aisyah Abd Razak

This paper propose a study of mobile power bank using small wind turbine attached to vehicle or used free wind at windy area somewhere in Malaysia. The objective of this study are to develop power bank by using small Verticals Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) and to prove that energy that have been supply by small VAWT generator can be stored in NiMH rechargeable batteries. The scope of study is to develop small power bank using VAWT using wind energy and to verify the performance of small VAWT in term at its capability to produce electricity. The simple circuit obtained the input source from wind energy using small VAWT. The wind energy was transformed to electrical energy then stored in the batteries. The storage energy used when the output being connected to simple circuit of power bank. It was expected that VAWT can produced power that can be stored inside the rechargeable batteries. The result showed that VAWT can produce power.
