Utilizing wind blowing between two tall buildings as a free electric source: article / Alia Farhana Shuib

This paper presents a study on the feasibility of capitalizing the wind energy produced between two tall buildings. A system is designed to "capture" the energy. Used computer fans are arranged so as to obtain maximum possible voltage output. The voltage output is fed to a dc to dc converter, which is then stored in capacitor banks. The challenges are to i) boost up small voltage produced by the fans and ii) be able to store the charges in capacitor banks for a relatively long period. All the systems design are analyzed and the results are concluded.
