HIGHWAY WIND TURBINES CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Nowadays communities facing deficiency in electricity due to increasing demand every year. Thus, sometimes resulting to rotating brownout- giving consumers headaches because of delay it caused them by the brownouts. Electricity is one of the major needs of this fast growing and innovative world. In the households, schools, government establishments, and most of all in businesses, we can see how important electricity is. It greatly affects every humans life, every community, every nation and the whole world. Because of the worlds continuous modernization, greater amount of electricity supply becomes short. This gives researchers the idea of helping our natural resources in producing electricity through an alternative source that we call Wind Turbine. This turbine produces electricity from the wind which is the kinetic energy. All the people know how important wind power is. But the only disadvantage with wind power is that it needs continuous flow of wind to generate electricity. Moreover, this is the reason that most of wind mills area is limited to large farmlands, sea and hills. The project idea that the researchers would like to discuss today can solve this limitation problem. One of the place in the world where winds keeps on flowing irrespective of season whether day or night, but is near cities are Highways . What if the researchers install wind turbine at highway dividers? A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic

energy from the wind, also called wind energy, into electrical energy. Thus, it harnesses the power of the wind and uses it to generate electricity. It uses large blades to catch the wind. When the wind blows, the blades are forced round, driving a turbine which generates electricity. The stronger the wind, the more electricity produced. A typical system in an exposed site could easily generate more power than your lights and electrical appliances use. Today's wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis types. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging or auxiliary power on boats; while large grid-connected arrays of turbines are becoming an increasingly important source of wind power-produced commercial electricity. There are two types of wind turbines. First Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) have the main rotor shaft and electrical generator at the top of a tower, and must be pointed into the wind. Small turbines are pointed by a simple wind vane, while large turbines generally use a wind sensor coupled with a servo motor. Most have a gearbox, which turns the slow rotation of the blades into a quicker rotation that is more suitable to drive an electrical generator. And secondly Vertical-axis wind turbines (or VAWTs) have the main rotor shaft arranged vertically. Key advantages of this arrangement are that the turbine does not need to be pointed into the wind to be effective. This is an advantage on sites where the wind direction is highly variable, for example when integrated into buildings. The key disadvantages include the low rotational speed with the consequential higher torque and hence higher cost of the drive train, the inherently lower power coefficient, the 360 degree rotation of the aerofoil within the wind flow during each cycle and hence the highly dynamic loading on the blade, the pulsating torque generated by

some rotor designs on the drive train, and the difficulty of modeling the wind flow accurately and hence the challenges of analyzing and designing the rotor prior to fabricating a prototype. In order for our country to keep track with fast modernization in the world, we need to invest in bringing greater technology which often resulted to greater needs of electricity. And by continually doing this without thinking of conserving electricity, time will come that there will be a vast shortage of electricity. Come to think of it, Philippinesa small country, (that is still categorized to be one of the third world countries in the world, which has lesser technologies and establishments) tends to consume lesser electricity and yet experiencing shortage in it. The researches cannot imagine how much larger electricity is being consumed by those countries that were frontline when it comes to technology like Japan, America as well as Russia. Really, electricity shortage is (or will be) a serious problem in the near future if we wont be able to prevent its continuous use without considering any possible source alternatives. . GENERAL OBJECTIVES The general objective of the study is to come up with a high way wind turbines. And to prove that in the c5 road can be installed a high wind turbine. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES The specific objective of the study is that vertical blade can also be used to build a new innovative turbine. And to study that our project can be used in our country as alternative source of energy.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY Wind turbine as the researchers proposed can be of a great help in helping producing additional supply of electricity, and some other advantages like it uses wind and the wind is free and with modern technology it can be captured efficiently. Once the wind turbine is built the energy it produces does not cause green house gases or other pollutants. Although wind turbines can be very tall each takes up only a small plot of land. This means that the space below can still be used. Remote areas that are not connected to the electricity power grid can use wind turbines to produce their own supply. Wind turbines have a role to play in both the developed and third world. Wind turbines are available in a range of sizes which means a vast range of people and businesses can use them. Single households to small towns and villages can make good use of range of wind turbines available today.Installation on divider not only reduces our land cost but also significantly optimize our power generation capability. We can use energy from vehicles from both sides of divider. It can also generate electricity from natural wind. SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY Though we could see how important and useful wind turbines are, still they have their limitations. Since it uses wind and the strength of the wind is not constant and it varies from zero to storm force. This means that wind turbines do not produce the same amount of electricity all the time. There will be times when they produce no electricity at all.

Chapter 2
Project concept Review of related literature
At the beginning of 2010, a building in San Jose was equipped with WindSpires. That was the Adobes building. The WindSpires turbine was manufactured in Manistee, Michigan in the United States. The turbines were place on the sixth floor of the building where winds can get to about 14mph. The WindSpire turbine converts wind energy into measurable electricity through a vertical design, a rotor/generator system (with a low speed giro mill and rotating air core motors), and a wireless modem that an owner can track on a computer. And at a height of 30ft. tall and only 2-4 ft. wide, it is said that it can produce about 19000 kilowatt hours per year in 12 mile per hour average wind. That is about a quarter of the total energy used by a regular U.S. household.

A student from an Arizona State University proposed a project of re-capturing some of the energy produced by vehicles moving at high speeds. Knowing how much air is generated by vehicles moving at speed, the proposal involves mounting horizontal wind turbines above the roadway that would be driven by the moving air generated by the passing traffic. The electricity generated by spinning these turbines could be fed back into the grid. The students analysis indicates that based on vehicle speeds of 70 mph each turbine could produce 9 600 kWh per year.

As more and more people across the world adopt cars as

their primary mode of transportation, well-lit highways become increasingly important. But how can we sustainably power all those energy-sucking lights? TAK Studio addressed that question in their entry into this years Greener

Gadgets competition to find the green technology solution of the future. Dubbed the Turbine Light, their design aims to illuminate our roadways using the power of the wind. TAKs wind-powered light uses the moving air from cars zipping by on the highway to generate energy that can be used to power roadside lighting. Its a controversial ideacould wind from passing cars actually provide enough power for lighting?but one that has the potential to save lots of cash in already wind-heavy regions. Alternatively, cities might consider using solar-powered lights instead. The idea has been proven to work many times over, including at the recent COP15 climate change conference. Tell us what you think by commenting below. Check out the Turbine Light and all of the other amazing entries in the Greener Gadgets Competition here and voice your choice for your favorite.

The BroadstarsAeroCam turbine design is an absolute head-turner. The design is based on principles first established by the French aeronautical engineer Georges Jean Marie Darrieus (1888-1979), who invented a wind turbine capable of operating from any direction and under adverse weather conditions. Darrieus machines typically have a vertical axis, whereas the AeroCam design has a horizontal axis with multiple blades, giving it the appearance of a water wheel. The major innovation in the design, however, is the ability to automatically and interactively adjust the pitch or angle of

attack of the aerodynamic blades as the turbine rotates, thereby optimizing its performance for much the same reasons a bird changes the shape of its wing in flight. The Enercon E-126 wind turbine is currently the biggest and most powerful wind turbine in the world, generating 6Mw. Now, generating 7.5Mw is yet to come the biggest wind turbine called Britania 7.5Mw Clipper (Britania).

Helix Wind, who offers a well-designed system that, creates electricity to power any home or small business. The Savories turbine-based design catches wind from all directions, creating smooth powerful torque to spin the electric generator. Its mounted up to 35 feet high, in winds as low as 10 mph, thus allowing the Helix system to fulfill electricity needs, while being congruous with the environment. The strength of the wind is captured by Helixs distinctive and efficient vertical blade design. The vertical Savonious 2.0 and Savonious 5.0 have a patent pending design which empowers the turbine to convert wind power into energy less than 5 decibels above background noise. Translation The noise that the turbine makes is similar to the noise generated when wind passes through a tree or a house, compared to conventional horizontal wind turbines that operate at up to ten times above the wind speed, which is responsible for the piercing whistling sound near wind farms The Jellyfish Wind Appliance consists of the following parts: A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), A solid-state controller, and A variable-speed induction generator. At a mere 36 inches tall, the Jellyfish can generate about 40 kilowatt hours each month which is enough to light a home using high-efficiency bulbs. Because of its price, design and simplicity, this has been now a fresh face in the

market.Developed by Solar Aero, a research company in New Hampshire, this bladeless wind turbine is inspired by a patent issued to Nikola Tesla in 1913. This wind turbine is the so called Fuller Wind Turbine which has only one rotating part, known as the turbine-driveshaft and is assembled inside housing. Environmentalists often dislike wind turbines because they kill birds and bats and often generate noise for the residents living nearby. Thus, enabling the wind industry to find a solution to the problem by working with environmental groups, federal regulators, and other interested parties, resulting to the development of the Fuller Wind Turbine.

The Rose Wind Turbine is the latest invention to be introduced in order to take portable wind power on the go. It is a small portable device that is small enough to fit into the trunk of the car and barely be noticed. The design itself was influenced by a rose. Wind turbines are commonly known for making a lot of noise. While this is obviously not 325 feet tall and would be much quieter anyway, it hardly creates a whisper. That is the sexy thing about the Rose Wind Turbine it is quiet.

The designers concept behind the foldable wind generator is to be able to support power on the go in areas that do not have access to electricity. Whether it was the beginning of a construction project or a community that lacked electricity, these portable units could be put up to supply the necessary power to that specific area. This wind turbine with the foldable wind generator is called Eolic, which is a very interesting design. It is made of very light-weight materials that are going to have a tough time standing tall in any wind that would be strong enough to actually generate the power that they are talking about. It has a distinct advantage over solar power since it could work all day long versus needing to recharge. They could also be sold

as a package to ensure constant renewable energy on the go. In that way, that would be a two-pack that people would surely stand in line for. The Kite Wind Generator simply known as KiteGen is an Italian company. They are installing kites that sprout from funnel like structures. When wind blows these kites come out of funnels. For short, use kites that spring from funnels on the end of giant poles when the wind blows. These kites are light and ultra-resistant, capable of flying up to a height of 2,000 meters. KiteGen have thought of new ways to exploit the wind power existing at an altitude. They have installed all the light devices in the air and heavy ones on the ground for generating power. They have also provided flexibility regarding the height of kites. If the wind is strong at certain height, the height of the kite too can be adjusted accordingly. If we say the wind blows nicely at 1000m, kites can be adjusted at the same height. The KiteGen people are concerned with the environment too. They dont want the lives of birds to be affected by their flying kites. So they have installed the advanced radar system that can redirect kites within seconds in case they detect flying of birds. Micro Wind turbine systems, on a smaller scale, can provide power to all, or a portion of your home, your farm or your business. This same technology can power up parking lots and illuminate bridges and billboards. A good wind source and a fertile imagination combine to make an endless list of applications. Ranchers are pumping water for livestock, fish farmers are aerating ponds and RV'rs are enjoying direct current camping away from the crowds. A simple home back up power supply: 1 or 2 turbine systems, battery, inverter & wiring, that's it. Power gets interrupted or goes down; you can still run important appliances or lights and tools. According to

the EPA; a 100 watt light bulb produces over 75 lbs of co2 annually. The average large screen TV will produce 3 times that amount. When you plug in anything electrical, you are using mostly fossil or nuclear fuel. Besides saving money, it will be great for the environment. Calmac Booth, is the company that thinks of storing extra power in ice. With the demand of renewable energy increasing with every passing day, inventors are trying to find the best possible means to store the generated energy during the best time, to provide power when the generators arent getting the resources they need. It is natural phenomenon that the wind blows stronger at night than in the day we dont need that extra energy during nighttime. We can now store this energy and use it during daytime when the load is too much on the grid. Calmac Booth is manufacturing a hybrid cooling system. This system exploits an ice bank thermal energy storage tank known as IceBank. This makes and stores ice for use in air conditioning systems when the wind is blowing a bit faster of the sun isnt shining, that is, at night. The unique property of the IceBank is that the ice is built uniformly throughout the tank. Charging cycle of an IceBank tank takes about 6 to 12 hours. This device can also be utilized in conjunction with a solar panel array. Rory Handel and Maxx Bricklinas from Beverly Hills, California designed the sleek motor of the new power packed performance super car that has been designed to run at the speed of 155 mph without conventional fuel. For startup this car will use solar powered battery but later draw its energy from circulating air. To achieve an acceleration of 0 to 60 mph this car will take less than four seconds. A full battery would empower the driver to travel more than 200 miles or to race around a track for

an hour. Four tactically placed air intakes will be built discretely into the cars bodywork. These air intakes will channel the airflow over the cars body towards the turbine. There are two intakes on the front of the car and one on each side towards the rear. The turbine is concealed within the car body and will be connected to an alternator. This alternator will boost the amount of electricity available to the car by 20 to 25 per cent. Mahesh Basantani, 11/26/07The MadLev is a magnetically levitated wind turbine that can generate one Gigawatt of power (enough to power 750,000 homes) and delivers clean power for less than one cent per kilowatt hour using this wind turbine.Magnetic levitation is a very efficient method of capturing wind energy. The blades of the turbine are suspended on a cushion of air, and the energy is directed to linear generators with minimal fiction losses. But the big advantage with maglev is that it reduces maintenance costs, and increases the lifespan of the generator. The manufacturer claims that it requires less land space than hundreds of conventional turbines. The MagLev wind turbine was invented by Ed Mazur, a researcher of variable renewable energy sources since 1981. There are already several MagLev wind turbines in operation in China.

Definition of terms
Alternator - an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. Most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature but occasionally, a rotating armature is used with a stationary magnetic field; or a linear alternator is used. Altitude - it is defined based on the context in which it is used (aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, and more). As a general definition, altitude is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. Bearing - Any of various machine elements that constrain the relative motion between two or more parts to only the desired type of motion. This is typically to allow and promote free rotation around a fixed axis or free linear movement; it may also be to prevent any motion, such as by controlling the vectors of normal forces. Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and according to their principle of operation, as well as by the directions of applied loads they can handle. Belt (mechanical) - a loop of flexible material used to link two or more rotating shafts mechanically. Belts may be used as a source of motion, to transmit power efficiently, or to track relative movement. Belts are looped over pulleys. Blade - portion of a tool, weapon, or machine with an edge that is designed to cut and/or puncture, stab, slash, chop, slice, thrust, or scrape animate or inanimate surfaces or

materials. A blade may be made from a flaking stone, such as flint, metal (usually steel), ceramic, or other material. Bolt - is a type of fastener characterized by a helical ridge, known as an external thread or just thread, wrapped around a cylinder. Some screw threads are designed to mate with a complementary thread, known as an internal thread, often in the form of a nutor an object that has the internal thread formed into it. Capacitor - a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator); for example, one common construction consists of metal foils separated by a thin layer of insulating film. Circuit - composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow. The combination of components and wires allows various simple and complex operations to be performed: signals can be amplified, computations can be performed, and data can be moved from one place to another. Decibel - a logarithmic unit that indicates the ratio of a physical quantity (usually power or intensity) relative to a specified or implied reference level. A ratio in decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of two power quantities. The decibel is used for a wide variety of measurements in science and engineering, most prominently in acoustics, electronics, and control theory. In electronics, the gains of

amplifiers, attenuation of signals, and signal-to-noise ratios are often expressed in decibels. Diode a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric transfer

characteristic, with low (ideally zero) resistance to current flow in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other. A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline piece ofsemiconductor material with a p-n junction connected to two electrical terminals. Fiberglass - Fiberglass is a lightweight, extremely strong, and robust material. Although strength properties are somewhat lower than carbon fiber and it is less stiff, the material is typically far less brittle, and the raw materials are much less expensive. Its bulk strength and weight properties are also very favorable when compared to metals, and it can be easily formed using molding processes. Fluorescent lamp - A gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. A fluorescent lamp converts electrical power into useful light more efficiently than an incandescent lamp. Lower energy cost typically offsets the higher initial cost of the lamp. Friction loss - refers to that portion of pressure lost by fluids while moving through a pipe, hose, or other limited space. In mechanical systems such as internal combustion engines, it refers to the power lost overcoming the friction between two moving surfaces. Gearbox - A machine consists of a power source and a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of the power. Merriam-Webster

defines transmission as an assembly of parts including the speed-changing gears and the propeller shaft by which the power is transmitted from an engine to a live axle. Kilowatt - The kilowatt is equal to one thousand (103) watts, or one sthenemetre per second. This unit is typically used to express the output power of engines and the power consumption of electric motors, tools, machines, and heaters. It is also a common unit used to express the electromagnetic power output of broadcast radio and television transmitters. Lead - is a chemical element in the carbon group with symbol Pb (from Latin: plumbum) and atomic number 82. Lead is a soft, malleablepoor metal. It is also counted as one of the heavy metals. Metallic lead has a bluish-white color after being freshly cut, but it soon tarnishes to a dull grayish color when exposed to air. Lead has a shiny chrome-silver luster when it is melted into a liquid. Wires - a strand of drawn metal used especially in electrical conductors and fencing. light-emitting diode (LED) - a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. Megawatt - The megawatt is equal to one million (106) watts. Many events or machines produce or sustain the conversion of energy on this scale, including lightning strikes; large electric motors; largewarships such as aircraft carriers, cruisers, and submarines; large server farms or data centers; and some scientific research equipment, such

as supercolliders, and also in the output pulses of very large lasers. A large residential or commercial building may consume several megawatts in electric power and heat. MPH - miles per hour, a measurement of speed. PCB - A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. It is also referred to as printed wiring board(PWB) or etched wiring board. Printed circuit boards are used in virtually all but the simplest commercially produced electronic devices. Pulley - a wheel on an axle that is designed to support movement of a cable or belt along its circumference. Pulleys are used in a variety of ways to lift loads, apply forces, and to transmit power. PVC pipe - used for the conveyance of drinking water, waste water, chemicals, heating fluid and cooling fluids, foodstuffs, ultra-pure liquids, slurries, gases, compressed air and vacuum system applications. Radar - an object-detection system which uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detectaircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. The radar dish or antenna transmits pulses of radio waves ormicrowaves which bounce off any object in their path.

Resistor - a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Solar power - a conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power(CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photoelectric effect. Thermal energy - the part of the total internal energy of a thermodynamic system or sample of matter that results in the system temperature.[1] This quantity may be difficult to determine or even meaningless unless the system has attained its temperature only through heating, and not been subjected to work input or output, or any other energychanging processes. Windmill - machine which converts the energy of wind into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails or blades. Originally windmills were developed for milling grain for food production. In the course of history the windmill was adapted to many other industrial uses. Woodblock - essentially a small piece of slit drum made from a single piece of wood and used as a percussion instrument. It is struck with a stick, making a characteristically percussive sound.

Project Development Besides milling grain and irrigating farmland, windmills were adapted to a variety tasks from the 15th to the 19th century, including pumping seawater as part of land reclamation projects in the Low Countries, sawing wood, making paper, pressing oil from seeds, and grinding many different materials. By the 19th century the Dutch had built about 9000 windmills, many of which remain use today. Of the major improvements on the windmills, the most important was the fantail, a mechanism invented in 1745 that automatically rotates the sails into the wind. In 1772 the spring sail was developed. This type of sail consist of wood shutters, the openings of which can be controlled either manually or automatically to maintain a constant sail speed in wind varying speeds. Other improvement include the application of air brakes to stop the sails from rotating and the use of propeller like airfoils in place of sails, which increases the mills in the light winds. The next major innovation in wind-energy technology was achieved in 1890, when wind mills were used to generating electricity were widely used in the Netherlands, Denmark, and many European countries and in several U.S location. Windmills developed in the 20th century can be classified as horizontal axis or vertical axis machines, depending on their axis rotation. Here in the Philippines as a engineering student. As inventor, developing or innovating wind turbines such a great ideas. By using air force coming from the moving cars it can generate electricity. And it can be a good alternative source of energy.

A. Fabrication In fabricating our projects we need to follow the step by step procedure. Step 1 Preparing the Materials Needed First make sure that the all needed materials are available. Then make sure that the all materials needed are in the proper places. Make sure that the tools needed is already and functional. Then make sure that before start fabricating, think always the SAFETY FIRST and the working place is also SAFE. Step 2- Preparing the parts of the base Cut a 4 pieces of metal pipe with an inside diameter of 1 (This will be our stand). Then make sure that the metal pipe is already no sharpen edge to make sure it cant be harm. Then Cut a 4pieces of angular bar (the size of angular bar 3/16x1) with a length of 2ft and 4inch. (this will be our length in our Alternator and Battery holder). After that cut again the same angular bar cut again a 4 pieces of 1ft and 6 inch in length (this will be our width of our Alternator and Battery holder). Cut the same material an angular bar 4pieces with a length of 1ft in length this will be the holder to the rectangular holder of the Alternator and Battery). After cutting, make sure first that the all rectangular bar are already filed the edge of it and already light soften the layer (using the sand paper).

After finishing the stand and holder of our alternator and battery then go on to the next level the holder of our pillow block. Cut an 8 pieces of a flat bar (the size of the flat bar is 3/16x1) with a 2ft and 4inches in length. Then cut again an 8 pieces with a 1ft and 6inch in length.

After cutting the all flat bar that will be the holder of pillow block. But first make sure that the all flat bar are no sharpen in the edge to avoid accident.

Step 3-Assembling the Base After cutting the all parts then we go to the welding station. Before make sure that the all parts are in the pattern given in the drawing. After pattern it welding first the side rectangular holder of the alternator and battery(do the same because we need 2 rectangular holder to make it like a box). Then put the metal pipe stand to the side of rectangular holder (make sure that the stand pipe are in right stand. Use an L-SQUARE). After welding the all 4 sides of the rectangular holder and the stand is already fix in Get the angular bar with a length of 1 and 6 inches in length and put in the top of the rectangular holder and welding it (use again the L-SQUARE to make sure that it is in straight position). After that if it is already fix put again the second rectangular holder on the top of the rectangular stand then welding it in to the side. Then get the flat bar with the length of the 2ft and 4inches and the 1ft and 6inches. (The longest one will be the in length welding and the shortest one will be in width in welding) Welding it to the top of the top

rectangular bar by 2pieces by length and width each by cross. But make sure that the hole of the pillow block is in right position in the flat bar. (Because the flat bar will be the holder of the pillow block). Do the same in the second rectangular holder or in the second rectangular holder (Make sure that use an L-SQUARE for accurate alignment of the flat bar). After welding the all parts in base part. We need to put the pillow block in the top of the flat bar and when it is align we need to put mark inside the hole. (Make sure that the mark is aligned) and then do the same under or to the 2nd flat bar (Make sure the alignment or the measure are the same). Then Use drill to drill the mark in the flat bar and make a hole make sure that the hole of the pillow block and the hole of the flat bar are in aligned. Then use bolt and knot that will fitted to the hole and fix it. The base is already finished. Step 4- Preparing the shaft The shaft will be the connector of our pulley and the blade. First cut a solid round bar with a diameter of 1 and a length of 4ft.

Step 5- Preparing the Blade First cut the metal pipe to a 3 pieces of bracer with a length of 5inches each (the diameter of the metal pipe is 1 and ). After that do framing for our poly carbon. Because the poly carbon will be our blade. Doing the framing cut first the same flat bar we use 3 pieces

with a length of 2ft. and 4 inch. After that cut again 2ft in length with 2 pieces. Then cut a square bar again a 2 pieces with and a length of 2ft. and 4inches. Also the same size 2pieces of 1ft and 6inches. Then bend the longest square bar and the flat bar. Make the size of the flat and square bar into 2ft. after bending get the all flat bar and welding it to their side by side. Make sure that the bending square will be in the top and down. The side of the framing will be only in straight position.(the size will become 2ft by ft) After that bend again the 2ft. and 4 inches flat bar (the size of it if it is already will become 2ft.) after bending put the bend flat bar on the top of square bar also in the middle and in the down then welding it side by side. Then put the straight flat bar also in top of the straight square bar. After finishing welding the frame, cut the poly carbon make sure that the size will follow the frame. Then to fix it use and rivet side by side (to be more strengthen it, I will advise to rivet it more). Do the same process because we need 4 blades. After due 4 blades, position it like a blade then welding the 4 blades and fix it in the bracer. (Make sure the blade are in alignment and have exact distance to each other). Make sure that bracer is already fix in the top center and down of the blades. Step 6- Finishing the Assembly Get the base and the shaft, get also the pulley.

First get the base then shaft then put the shaft inside of the first pillow block (bearing) then get the pulley and put it also the shaft inside the hole of pulley then put it again in the second hole of the pillow block.( it is your decision how tall of your blade you want) after that to make sure that the shaft will not fall down tighten the allen screw in the 2 pillow block.

Then get the blade then drill the 3 bracer also the solid shaft. But make sure drilling the shaft just a little bit and put threads inside of it.( make sure that the drilling the hole of in the bracer and in the shaft are aligned.

Then get a screw and screw the blade into the shaft and fix it (make sure that if you screw it, it also strengthen to avoid falling down the blade).

After that make sure that the all parts are connected to each other. (the blade are connected to the shaft the shaft are connected to the pillow block and the pillow block are connected to the base. The pulley is connected to the shaft then the pulley has a belt which connected to the alternator).

After checking the all parts, it is already to test.

D. Project Trial and Testing As weve noticed in any project about wind turbine when we do trial and testing, is all about wind. We can say that the wind is the most important factor on how your wind turbine functions very well. Wind turbine, compose of wind blades, gear box, generator or maybe alternator and batteries is very amazing project. But if the wind is not so performing very well the wind turbine will become display only or maybe it will not

function to produce specific electricity. Our group made some experiment with the use of mini wind turbine which is a fan made from a paper which is look like a flower and place it on the electric fan. Then as we noticed when we place the paper fan near to the electric fan, the paper fan turn quickly and after that, when we started that the paper fan getting far for the electric fan it really turns slowly. We can say that the strong the wind the strong it turns and if turns faster the better it will function. Just like in wind turbine the greater the wind the greater the electricity produced. We must be also aware to the case of not uniformly distributed of the wind in any places because its nature and we cant control it. We must think some ideas on how to be solved these problem and we can say it is on our process now in doing our project studies. In this project the most factor that you will need to be concentrate is on the location where did you place the wind turbine. Be noted to the place if there is a high performance of wind or low performance of wind, so that we can aware to the electricity that will be produced by the wind turbine. E. Evaluation After Careful evaluation The Driving Wind power has some obvious advantages its clean and renewable and relatively cheap. While these advantages are largely global in nature, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel depletion, the disadvantages are primarily local, land use, noise and visual pollution. Of course, the main disadvantage of wind power is that the wind does not blow consistently or steadily and noise from the turbines. Also the researcher determined the driving forces of the wind power system that would definitely put the application on top of the free wind power energy Industry. Energy Saver, Green Technology, motor Life Efficient, Low Maintenance Cost, Reliable and with Sophisticated Control and Management System are the driving forces. The total

machine affiance at low torque and low wind force in-coming from relative speed of different vehicle at speed range of 40-50min 100-120max KPH produce turbulent wind that would take up force that turns the turbines. The car aerodynamic design which are design to make reduce the drag force of the wind incoming to them. Minimize this turbulent wind at the side of the car to sufficiently run the turbines at minimum rate. When at one side of the wind turbines .Larger vehicles are great producer of wind power yet only at the front which set aside the wind pressure accelerates at peak, after it the pressure drops at the body of the vehicle which gives the final displacement for the wind then gradually turn down to low pressure at the back of the vehicle and return to normal wind pressure at normal rate, after the car pass by. Wind compression and interference happen when, where the wind direction and the car direction are the same on side .maximum attainment of wind power can gain. Where 2 vehicles at the same side of the wind the turbines met with maximum wind force. Machine wind turbines are work with this wind power ranging varies directly to different vehicles size, aerodynamic design, airflow and direction, environmental pressure and humidity are factors affecting wind quality receives by the turbines to turn at stable rate. Although in abundances of wind power the Design of turbines harness the affiance of the wind to power conversion at feasible cost for production.
