 Introduction
Wind energy, like most earthly energy resources, comes from solar power. Solar
radiation causes the regions of unequal heating over land masses and oceans. This
creates regions of high and low pressures and this causes the flow of air called wind.
There has been an enormous increase in the global demand for energy in recent
years as a result of industrial development and population growth. Supply of energy
is, therefore, far less than the actual demand.
Wind power produces no emissions and is not depleted overtime. A single one
megawatt (1MW) wind turbine running for one year can displace over 1,500 tons of
carbon dioxide, 6.5 tons of sulfur dioxide, 3.2 tons of nitrogen oxides and 60 pounds
of mercury (based on the US average utility generation fuel mix).Wind plants can
provide a steady flow of income to landowners, while increasing property tax
revenues for local communities. It can take many forms, including large wind farms,
distributed generation and single end user systems. It also reduces the import of
fossil fuels and lessens the dependence on foreign governments that supply these
fuels. Also wind energy is better than other forms of unconventional energy sources
because it is available throughout the day and at all seasons.
 “ Applications
Electricity generation: Wind turbines generate electricity that can be used to
power homes, businesses, and industries.
Reducing carbon footprint: Wind turbines are a clean, renewable energy source
that can reduce the need for fossil fuels and the amount of greenhouse gas
emissions

”
•Agricultural applications: Wind turbines can be used for agricultural purposes.
•Industrial applications: Wind turbines can be used to power industrial
applications.
•Job creation and economic growth: Wind turbines can create jobs and
contribute to economic growth.
•Reducing carbon footprint: Wind turbines are a clean, renewable energy source
that can reduce the need for fossil fuels and the amount of greenhouse gas
emissions
 Problem Identification
•Noise: Wind turbines can be noisy, which some people don't like.
•Visual impact: Wind turbines can be unappealing aesthetically.
•Intermittent power: Wind turbines can't generate electricity 24/7 because they rely on the weather.
•Environmental impact: Wind turbines can have negative effects on the environment, including:
• Wildlife: Wind turbines can injure or kill birds and bats. They can also indirectly impact wildlife through
noise pollution, habitat loss, and reduced survival or reproduction.
• Materials: The production of the metals and other materials used to make wind turbines can have
environmental impacts.
• Service roads: Land-based wind power projects require service roads that can impact the environment.

•Health: Some people report adverse health effects from wind turbines, including sleep disturbance,
headaches, stress, and anxiety.
•Geographic limitations: Wind turbines can only be used in areas with consistent high-speed winds,
which can be difficult to find.
•Portable and height adjustable : As turbines moves at high pressure areas we canot adjust the wind mill
and canot be carried easily.
 Objectives
•Renewable energy
•Wind is a clean, free, and inexhaustible source of renewable energy.
•Reduce pollution
•Wind turbines don't produce greenhouse gas emissions, which can harm the environment and cause health
problems.
•Reduce fossil fuel use
•Wind energy reduces the use of fossil fuels, which are the source of greenhouse gases that cause global
warming.
•Economic benefits

•Wind energy can create jobs, provide financial incentives, and help reduce utility bills.

Wind turbines can be used in a variety of ways, including:

•Stand-alone: A single wind turbine can power a small number of homes or businesses.
•Wind farms: Wind turbines can be clustered together to form a wind farm. Wind farms can be installed on land
or offshore.
•Remote areas: Wind energy can be used in remote areas, like islands, that don't have access to the utility
grid.
•Water pumping: Vertical axis wind turbines can be used to pump water.
•Heating and purification: Vertical axis wind turbines can be used for heating and purification

 Work Done So Far
Week 1:
•Identified and finalized a strong research title: Wireless Multipurpose Agriculture Robot.
•Began initial collection of relevant journals and authors.

Week 2:
•Thoroughly studied the collected journals, analyzing key findings and ideas.
•Evaluated the research to understand various approaches used in similar projects.

Week 3:
•Made necessary modifications to our approach based on insights gained from journal studies.
•Fine-tuned the scope and objectives of the prototype.

Week 4:
•Gathered all reference materials for documentation and citation.
•Prepared to move into the prototype development phase.
 EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
•Rotor and blades: The blades are attached to the rotor
•Shaft: A low speed shaft connects the driver gear to the rotor turbine, and a high
speed shaft connects the driven gear to the generator
•Generator: A generator or dynamo converts mechanical energy into electrical
energy
•Gear box: A gear box includes a driver gear and a driven gea

Some variables to consider in a wind turbine experiment include:

•Power produced by the windmill compared to the cost
•Wind turbine blade size
•Distance from wind source
•Strength of wind
•Height of turbine
•Angle of blades

 Abstract
Wind energy is one of the promising renewable energy, used to generate electric power.
The search for environmental friendly, sustainable energy has promoted in this industrial
world. The present global technological society is depended on the availability of energy.
The development of industry, agriculture and transportation, etc. is totally depended on the
availability of power. The cost of energy is increasing day by day due to the increase in the
demand of power and depletion of the conventional energy resources, which are used in the
generation of electricity. So, it is very essential to make use of the non- conventional
sources of energy like wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, etc. Wind is considered to be
one of the most promising resources in the renewable energy portfolio. Wind energy is used
to generate electrical power by rotating the rotor shaft by the conversion of kinetic energy of
wind into rotational energy of the shaft. The objective of this work is to develop a domestic
wind turbine which works at low wind speeds and which can be made available to the
common man at a very low price. Polyvinyl chloride, which is easily available, has been
utilized to fabricate the blades. In the design process, basic aerofoil section is considered
with various forces acting on the blades are calculated theoretically and the design is
optimized to get the optimum power output. The rotational speed of the wind turbine is
maximized by using a gear ratio. A DC dynamo which acts as generator is used to extract
power.
