Design and Analysis of Mini Windmill
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryThe system which will surpass the traditional windmill, in generating electricity by the use of wind power. It is a better and advance version of traditional windmill, which will help to sustain the increasing demand of electricity. The windmill system does not depend on any other energy to rotate itself in the direction of wind. It has a omni directional architecture in the form of rotating blades, which works in every direction. The System has a Atmega328 microcontroller which smartly senses charge that the windmill is producing while displaying the voltage on the LCD.
Project Objectives- Design and analysis of mini windmill power generation plant
- A mini windmill compact in size which will rotate with ambient wind speed will be able to produce electric power which can be stored or directly utilized to run an equipment.
- Easy to use, deploy and access
Step 1: Make a list of required hardware outputs
Step 2: Examine the mechanism architecture
Step 3: Select the architecture
Step 4: Identify Motion Needs
Step 5: Start searching for mechanisms & Parts
Step 6: Examine Costs and Power Constraints. ...
Step 7: Check part availability
Step 8: Calculate Sizes
Step 9: Fabricate parts
Benefits of the Project- Generating energy at individual level
- Cost effective
- It’s All Natural
We came up with a mini design of vertical axis windmill, which is compact in size and can be installed on the top of the house or factory etc.
Wind mill dimensions & material
Windmill blade - Aluminium
Width = 100mm
Thickness = 1.5mm
Length = 300mm
Blade holder plate – Mild steel
Diameter = 340mm
Thickness = 1mm
Shaft for blade holder plate –Aluminium
Diameter = 12mm
Length = 360mm
Motor mounting plate –Mild steel
Length x breadth = 80mm x 80mm
Thickness = 2mm
Rod between all plates –Alluminium
Diameter = 10mm
Base plate for windmill –Mildsteel
Length x breadth – 200mm x 200mm
Thickness = 2mm
Overall dimensions of windmill dimension
Diameter = 400mm
Height = 500mm
We use atmega328 controller and an additional circuitary to calculate the amount of volts being produced
