Mini Windmill
Usage of renewable energy has been increasing day by day due to the no availability of conventional energy easily also their increasing cost.In this project electricity can be produced by rotating the turbine which is connected to the blades hub.Blades are will be rotated when there is enough wind.The electricity completely produced by without spending any type of fossil fuel.No emissions are produced during the making of electricity with the wind mill.

Project Description:

  1. WINDMILL:This converts the wind energy into the rotational energy.The turbine is rotated by the wind mill which is mounted to the generator.So the turbine is rotated by the wind mill which makes generator produce the electricity.
  2. TURBINE:Turbine is the rotating part which has a set of gears which converts the high torque rotation into the high speed rotation which is very much required for the generator to produce electricity.Thermal and nuclear power plant also has the turbine which will be operated by sending the superheated steam at higher velocity.
  3. GENERATOR:It is a device which can able to converts the mechanical energy into the electrical energy.The generator coupled with the turbine shaft also its mounted with the windmill hub.So the turbine is rotated by the windmill hub that will makes rotate the generator.
  4. REGULATOR:It is a electronic circuit that gives the constant DC output voltage in to the electronic device.The transistor working as a voltage regulator.The capacitor is used for filtering the filtering the dc output voltage.
  5. DIGITAL DISPLAY:The digital display shows you the voltage of the battery.The microcontroller is used for getting the information from the digital display.

Project Implementation:

  1. Take the sheet metal and cut it for three windmill blade shape the size that you want.Fix the blades into the hub with help of bolt and nuts. Then take the DC dynamo and mount to the shaft of the windmill hub. Wire the dynamo and connect it to the battery where you can save electricity produced by the generator.It can be viewed by the digital display which connected to the battery.
