Vertical axis turbine in a tunnel Wind

thingiverse

The aim of this project is to charge a mobile phone using Wind Energy, this avoiding the need os the mains. A very high percentage of the main´s power supply is obtained from fossil fuels. For this reason the use of Wind Energy is preferable as it is a clean form of energy, wich would reduce our dependence on gossil fuels, the conflicts created in other countries and the impact on the enviroment. In addition it would help save money and provide energy in places that have no access to the mains. To achieve this, a test bench will be developed to compare the performance of the different wind-driven generaters to scale. The test bench will measure the following parameters. -The turning speed of the different prototypes. -The wind speed inside the wind tunnel. -The mechanical torque produced by the diferent prototypes.
