Design and Fabrication of Vortex Bladeless Windmill

Abstract

At present India is stepping towards becoming a global super power. This implies that it is leading the list of developing countries in terms of economic development. Therefore the energy requirement of the country would increase in rapid rate. At present there is existing blade windmill to produce energy, but its capital cost, maintenance cost, friction loss is high. So in our project we are going to generate electricity by using BLADELESS WINDMILL. Bladeless wind generation uses radically a new approach of capturing wind energy. It works on principle that when wind is allowed to strike the column mast, it tends to vibrate and this vibrational energy is further converted to mechanical energy. The spring is provided inside mast which is connected to crank shaft. The vibration is transmitted to crankshaft which is then supplied to generator. It is an eco friendly project and it reduces the friction losses.
