ABSTRACT:
Conventional fuels which are fast depleting, have ever fluctuating price and polluting characteristic of theirs is
pushing mankind towards energies which are renewable and green. Wind being one of the renewable energies among solar, geothermal, biomass, ocean and others is being more patronized in places where wind is copious by governmental and with private partnership to generate electricity. Vertical axis rotor was selected over the horizontal ones due to its simplicity and reliability. At a selected location a prototype was built and installed. The design and development process and the need of the new type of machine will be described in this paper.This paper produces an investigational exploration of a vertical axis rotor (Savonius rotor) wind turbine adapted for household/domestic electricity generation. The model machine collects wind energy and generates a 12 volt output which is used to charge one heavy duty battery. As a result, the home is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and the utility. The wind turbine responds well to low wind velocities and also various materials for vanes, various transmission mechanisms were also tried to evaluate the performance of the rotor.
