ABSTRACT
We know that there is enough wind globally to satisfy much, or even most,
of humanity's energy requirements if it could be harvested effectively and
on a large scale. Vertical axis wind turbines (VW!s", which may be as
efficient as current hori#ontal axis systems, might be $ractical, sim$ler
and significantly chea$er to build maintain than hori#ontal axis wind
turbines (%W!s".!hey also have other inherent advantages, such as they
are always facing the wind, which might make them a significant $layer in
our quest for chea$er, cleaner renewable sources of electricity. VW!s
might even critical in mitigating grid interconnect stability and reliabilityissue currently facing electricity $roducers and su$$liers. dditionally,
chea$ VW!&s may $rovide an alternative to the rain forest destruction for
the growing of biofuel cro$s.
Verticalaxis wind turbines (VW!s) are a ty$e of wind
turbine where the main rotor shaft is set vertically. mong the advantages of
this arrangement are that generators and gearboxes can be $laced close to the
ground, and that VW!s do not need to be $ointed into the wind. a)or
drawbacks for the early designs (*avonius, +arrieus, and cycloturbine"
included the $ulsatory torque that can be $roduced during each revolution
and the huge bending moments on the blades.
n this $ro)ect we attem$t to design and fabricate a
*avonius Vertical xis Wind !urbine.

INTRODUCTION
f the efficiency of a wind turbine is increased, then more $ower can be
generated thus decreasing the need for ex$ensive $ower generators that
cause $ollution. !his would also reduce the cost of $ower for the common
$eo$le. !he wind is literally there for the taking and doesn't cost any money.
4ower can be generated and stored by a wind turbine with little or no
$ollution. f the efficiency of the common wind turbine is im$roved and
wides$read, the common $eo$le can cut back on their $ower costs
immensely.
5ver since the *eventh 1entury $eo$le have been utili#ing the wind to make
their lives easier. !he whole conce$t of windmills originated in 4ersia. !he
4ersians originally used the wind to irrigate farm land, crush grain and
milling. !his is $robably where the term windmill came from.
*ince the wides$read use of windmills in 5uro$e, during the !welfth
1entury, some areas such as the -etherlands have $ros$ered from creating
vast wind farms.
!he first windmills, however, were not very reliable or energy efficient.
/nly half the sail rotation was utili#ed. !hey were usually slow and had a
low ti$ s$eed ratio but were useful for torque.
*ince its creation, man has constantly tried to im$rove the windmill. s a
result, over the years, the number of blades on windmills has decreased.
ost modern windmills have BF blades while $ast windmills have had 3G8
blades. 4ast windmill also had to be manually directed into the wind, while
modern windmills can be automatically turned into the wind. !he sail design
and materials used to create them have also changed over the years.

n most cases the altitude of the rotor is directly $ro$ortional to its
efficiency. s a matter of fact, a modern wind turbine should be at least
twenty feet above and three hundred feet away from an obstruction, though it
is even more ideal for it to be thirty feet above and five hundred feet away
from any obstruction.
+ifferent locations have various wind s$eeds. *ome $laces, such as the
Aritish sles, have few inhabitants because of high wind s$eeds, yet they are
ideal for wind generation. +id you know that the world's largest wind farm is
located in 1alifornia, and the total wind $ower generated there exceeds

have a hori#ontal rotor much like the classic +utch fourarm windmill. !he
hori#ontal axis windmills $rimarily rely on lift from the wind. s stated in
Aernoulli's 4rinci$le, Ia fluid will travel from an area of higher $ressure to
an area of lower $ressure.I t also states, Ias the velocity of a fluid increases,
its density decreases.I Aased u$on this $rinci$le, hori#ontal axis windmill
blades have been designed much like the wings of an air$lane, with a curved
to$. !his design increases the velocity of the air on to$ of the blade thus
decreasing its density and causing the air on the bottom of the blade to go
towards the to$ ... creating lift. !he blades are angled on the axis as to utili#e
the lift in the rotation. !he blades on modern wind turbines are designed for
maximum lift and minimal drag.

blades to avoid the stresses at high wind s$eeds. *ome windmills, like the
cycloturbine, have been equi$$ed with a vane that senses wind direction and
causes the rotor to rotate into the wind. Wind turbine generators have been
equi$$ed with gearboxes to control KshaftL s$eeds. Wind turbines have also
been equi$$ed with generators which convert shaft $ower into electrical
$ower. any of the sails on windmills have also been re$laced with
$ro$ellerlike airfoils. *ome windmills can also stall in the wind to control
wind s$eed. Aut above all of these im$rovements, the most im$ortant
im$rovement to the windmill was made in ;D3B when the fantail was
invented. !he fantail automatically rotates the sails into the wind.
ost wind turbines start to generate $ower at ;; mMs and shut down at
s$eeds near ?EmMs. nother variable of the windmill's efficiency is its swe$t
area. !he swe$t area of a disksha$ed wind wheel is calculated asJ rea
equals $i times diameter squared divided by four ($i equals ?.;3".
nother variable in the $roductivity of a windmill is the wind s$eed. !he
wind s$eed is measured by an anemometer.
nother necessity for a windmill is the tower. !here are many ty$es of
towers. *ome towers have guy wire to su$$ort them and others don't. !he
towers without guy wires are called freestanding towers. *omething to take
into consideration about a tower is that it must su$$ort the weight of the
windmill along with the weight of the tower. !owers are also sub)ect to drag.
*cientists estimate that, by the E;st 1entury, ten $ercent of the world's
electricity will come from windmills.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
!o utili#e the available wind resources and to reduce the usage of non
renewable energy resources. Wind energy is by far the fastestgrowing
renewable energy resource. !he wind energy industry so far has been
su$$orted by market incentives backed by government $olicies fostering
sustainable energy resources.
9argescale wind facilities a$$roaching the out$ut rating of conventional
$ower $lants, control of the $ower quality is required to reduce the adverse
effects on their integration into the network. !hese wind turbines can be used
to $rovide constant lighting. n most cities, bridges are a faster route foreveryday commute and in need of constant lighting makes this an efficient
way to $roduce natural energy.

LITERATURE REVIEW
POWER & SOURCES
N The Source of Wind
n a macrometeorological sense, winds are movements of air masses in the
atmos$here mainly originated by tem$erature differences. !he tem$erature
gradients are due to uneven solar heating. n fact, the equatorial region is
more irradiated than the $olar ones. 1onsequently, the warmer and lighter air
of the equatorial region rises to the outer layers of the atmos$here and moves
towards the $oles, being re$laced at the lower layers by a return flow of
cooler air coming from the $olar regions. !his air circulation is also affected
by the 1oriolis forces associated with the rotation of the 5arth. n fact, these
forces deflect the u$$er flow towards the east and the lower flow towards the
west. ctually, the effects of differential heating dwindle for latitudes greater

CHARACTERISTICS & SPECIFICATIONS OF
WIND TUR$INES
U Wind S!eed
!his is very im$ortant to the $roductivity of a windmill. !he wind turbine
only generates $ower with the wind. !he wind rotates the axis (hori#ontal or
vertical" and causes the shaft on the generator to swee$ $ast the magnetic
coils creating an electric current.
U $%de Len'#h
!his is im$ortant because the length of the blade is directly $ro$ortional to
the swe$t area. 9arger blades have a greater swe$t area and thus catch more
wind with each revolution. Aecause of this, they may also have more torque.
U $e Hei'h#
!he height of the base affects the windmill immensely. !he higher awindmill is, the more $roductive it will be due to the fact that as the altitude
increases so does the winds s$eed.
U $e Dei'n
*ome base is stronger than others. Aase is im$ortant in the construction of
the windmill because not only do they have to su$$ort the windmill, but they
must also be sub)ect to their own weight and the drag of the wind. f a weak
tower is sub)ect to these elements, then it will surely colla$se. !herefore, the
base must be identical so as to insure a fair com$arison.

VERTICAL A3IS WIND TUR$INE
Verticalaxis wind tu rbines (or VW!s" have the main rotor shaft arranged
vertically. Oey advantages of this arrangement are that the turbine does notneed to be $ointed into the wind to be effective. !his is an advantage on sites
where the wind direction is highly variable, for exam$le when integrated into
buildings. !he key disadvantages include the low rotational s$eed with the
consequential higher torque and hence higher cost of the drive train, the
inherently lower $ower coefficient, the ?F< degree rotation of the aerofoil
within the wind flow during each cycle and hence the highly dynamic
loading on the blade, the $ulsating torque generated by some rotor designs
on the drive train, and the difficulty of modeling the wind flow accurately
and hence the challenges of analy#ing and designing the rotor $rior to
fabricating a $rototy$e.

With a vertical axis, the generator and gearbox can be $laced near the
ground, hence avoiding the need of a tower and im$roving accessibility for
maintenance. +rawbacks of this configuration include (i" wind s$eeds are
lower close to the ground, so less wind energy is available for a given si#e
turbine, and (ii" wind shear is more severe close to the ground, so the rotor
ex$eriences higher loads. ir flow near the ground and other ob)ects can
create turbulent flow, which can introduce $roblems associated with
vibration, such as noise and bearing wear which may increase the
maintenance or shorten the service life. %owever, when a turbine is mounted
on a roofto$, the building generally redirects wind over the roof and this can
double the wind s$eed at the turbine. f the height of the roofto$ mounted

when dealing with global $erformance, fatigue loads, etc., it is more
convenient to have a normaltangential frame. !he lift and the dragcoefficients are usually normali#ed by the dynamic $ressure of the relative

T4PES OF VERICAL A3IS WIND TUR$INES
Drrieu "ind #ur1ine
1ommonly described as I5ggbeaterI turbines, or +arrieus turbines, were
named after the 6rench inventor, >eorges +arrieus. !hey have good
efficiency, but $roduce large torque ri$$le and cyclical stress on the tower,
which contributes to $oor reliability. !hey also generally require some
external $ower source, or an additional *avonius rotor to start turning,
because the starting torque is very low. !he torque ri$$le is reduced by using
three or more blades which results in greater solidity of the rotor. *olidity is
measured by blade area divided by the rotor area. -ewer +arrieus ty$e
turbines are not held u$ by guywires but have an external su$erstructure
connected to the to$ bearing.
!he +arrieus design, the aerofoils are arranged so that they are symmetrical
and have #ero rigging angle, that is, the angle that the aerofoils are set
relative to the structure on which they are mounted. !his arrangement is
equally effective no matter which direction the wind is blowing`in contrast
to the conventional ty$e, which must be rotated to face into the wind.
When the +arrieus rotor is s$inning, the aerofoils are moving forward
through the air in a circular $ath. elative to the blade, this oncoming
airflow is added vectorially to the wind, so that the resultant airflow creates a
varying small $ositive angle of attack (o" to the blade. !his generates anet force $ointing obliquely forwards along a certain 'lineofaction'. !his
force can be $ro)ected inwards $ast the turbine axis at a certain distance,
giving a $ositive torque to the shaft, thus hel$ing it to rotate in the direction
it is already travelling in. !he aerodynamic $rinci$les which rotate the rotor
are equivalent to that in autogiros, and normal helico$ters in autorotation.

*avonius turbines are one of the sim$lest turbines. erodynamically, they
are dragty$e devices, consisting of two or three scoo$s. 9ooking down on
the rotor from above, a twoscoo$ machine would look like an I*I sha$e incross section. Aecause of the curvature, the scoo$s ex$erience less drag
whenmoving against the wind than when moving with the wind. !he
differential drag causes the *avonius turbine to s$in. Aecause they are drag
ty$e devices, *avonius turbines extract much less of the wind's $ower than
other similarlysi#ed liftty$e turbines. uch of the swe$t area of a *avonius
rotor may be near the ground, if it has a small mount without an extended
$ost, making the overall energy extraction less effective due to the lower
wind s$eeds found at lower heights.

ADVANTAES OF SAVONIUS TUR$INES
*avonius turbines are used whenever cost or reliability is much more
im$ortant than efficiency. 6or exam$le, most anemometers are *avonius
turbines, because efficiency is com$letely irrelevant for that a$$lication.
uch larger *avonius turbines have been used to generate electric $ower on
dee$water buoys, which need small amounts of $ower and get very little
maintenance. +esign is sim$lified because, unlike with %ori#ontal xis
Wind !urbines (%W!s", no $ointing mechanism is required to allow for
shifting wind direction and the turbine is selfstarting. *avonius and other
verticalaxis machines are good at $um$ing water and other high torque, low
r$m a$$lications and are not usually connected to electric $ower grids. !hey
can sometimes have long helical scoo$s, to give smooth torque.
!he most ubiquitous a$$lication of the *avonius wind turbine is the 6lettner
Ventilator which is commonly seen on the roofs of vans and buses and is
used as a cooling device. !he ventilator was develo$ed by the >erman

Princi!%e of D,n.o O!er#ion
!he dynamo uses rotating coils of wire and magnetic fields to convert
mechanical rotation into a $ulsing direct electric current through 6araday's
law of induction. dynamo machine consists of a stationary structure, called
the stator, which $rovides a constant magnetic field, and a set of rotating
windings called the armature which turn within that field. !he motion of the
wire within the magnetic field causes the field to $ush on the electrons in the
metal, creating an electric current in the wire. /n small machines the
constant magnetic field may be $rovided by one or more $ermanent
magnets larger machines have the constant magnetic field $rovided by oneor more electromagnets, which are usually called field coils.
!he commutator was needed to $roduce direct current. When a loo$ of wire
rotates in a magnetic field, the $otential induced in it reverses with each half
turn, generating an alternating current. %owever, in the early days of electric
ex$erimentation, alternating current generally had no known use. !he few
uses for electricity, such as electro$lating, used direct current $rovided by
messy liquid batteries. +ynamos were invented as a re$lacement for
batteries. !he commutator is essentially a rotary switch. t consists of a set of
contacts mounted on the machine's shaft, combined with gra$hiteblock
stationary contacts, called IbrushesI, because the earliest such fixed contacts
were metal brushes. !he commutator reverses the connection of the
windings to the external circuit when the $otential reverses, so instead of

DESININ OF VERTICAL A3IS WIND TUR$INE
wind mill is machine for wind energy conversion. wind turbine

ARC WELDIN
rc welding uses a welding $ower su$$ly to create an electric arc between
an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding $oint.
!hey can use either direct (+1" or alternating (1" current, and consumable
or nonconsumable electrodes. !he welding region is sometimes $rotected
by some ty$e of inert or semiinert ga s ,known as a shielding ga s ,andMor an
eva$orating filler material. !he $rocess of arc welding is widely used
because of its low ca$ital and running costs
!he following gauge lengths of electrodes are used in this $rocess 8,

RIVETIN
rivet is a $ermanent mechanical fastener. Aefore being installed a rivet
consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. !he end
o$$osite the head is called the bucktail. /n installation the rivet is $laced in
a $unched or $redrilled hole, and the tail is u$set, or bucked (i.e. deformed",
so that it ex$ands to about ;.B times the original shaft diameter, holding the
rivet in $lace. !o distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original
head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the sho$ head
or bucktail.
Aecause there is effectively a head on each end of an installed rivet, it can
su$$ort tension loads (loads $arallel to the axis of the shaft" however, it is
much more ca$able of su$$orting shear loads (loads $er$endicular to the
axis of the shaft". Aolts and screws are better suited for tension a$$lications.

CONCLUSION
/ur work and the results obtained so far are very encouraging and reinforce
the conviction that vertical axis wind energy conversion systems are
$ractical and $otentially very contributive to the $roduction of clean
renewable electricity from the wind even under less than ideal sitting
conditions. t is ho$ed that they may be constructed used highstrength, low
weight materials for de$loyment in more develo$ed nations and settings or
with very low tech local materials and local skills in less develo$ed
countries. !he *avonius wind turbine designed is ideal to be located on to$
of a bridge or bridges to generate electricity, $owered by wind. !he elevated
altitude gives it an advantage for more wind o$$ortunity. With the idea on
to$ of a bridge, it will $ower u$ street lights and or commercial use. n most
cities, bridges are a faster route for everyday commute and in need of
constant lighting makes this an efficient way to $roduce natural energy
FUTURE DEVELOP*ENTS
!he develo$ment of effective alternators and dynamos can be used to
harness wind energy from relatively small winds. !he use of materials
like crylic 4lastic *heets can be used to develo$ low cost VW!
