Traffic Wind Turbine

Published on 19 May 2022. Written by Dhilan Mandaliya

There are more than 2.5 billions cars in this 21 century which generates wind turbulence and air pollution up to certain percentage every year. We have all seen those creepy old wind mils on farms which are unable to generate electricity efficiently.

What if I say the same wind turbine which is responsible for huge windmills rotation is replaced by a small efficient traffic wind turbine which moves with the help of moving air through passing cars on highway.

Project Description:

Components you require to generate free energy

Bluetooth module: HC-05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol) module, designed for transparent wireless serial connection setup. The HC-05 Bluetooth Module can be used in a Master or Slave configuration, making it a great solution for wireless communication.
Rechargeable Battery: A rechargeable battery, storage battery, secondary cell, or accumulator is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. It is composed of one or more electrochemical cells
Multi meter: A multimeter or a multimeter, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical multimeter can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog Multimeters use a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings.
Tachometer : A tachometer (revolution-counter, tach, rev-counter, RPM gauge) is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. The device usually displays the revolutions per minute (RPM) on a calibrated analog dial, but digital displays are increasingly common.
DC motors: This DC or direct current motor works on the principal, when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque and has a tendency to move. This is known as motoring action. If the direction of current in the wire is reversed, the direction of rotation also reverses.

Project implementation:

First of all, you need air filter sheet bent at some angle to make a turbine blade. Make two pieces in spital shape connect them with each other through a freely rotating shaft. Couple one end of the shaft with a dc generator and let another end to be free. Wire the DC generator which a rechargeable power source which can store a certain amount of power for a longer period of time.

Final Step:

Locate your Traffic wind turbine on Highway divider. When the car will pass car will Force turbine to rotate at variable RPM. This Process continues unless and until there is traffic on road.you can generate free And green energy from your project
