Abstract

With the increasing needs of the human being,energy consumption is also increase tremendously with the exploitation of mineral natural resources,leading to deficiency of energy resources in future.In order to solving these problems,wind turbine power is one of the options.The purposes of this project involve a simple material of prototype innovatively a small scale portable vertical axis wind turbine for power supply system.A prototype of wind turbine is developed for application of power supply,which is as an example to address the design considerations and demonstration the performance application system.Vertical axis turbine is more preferable than horizontal axis due to its feature of being accepting wind from all direction.The material chosen for this project is a simple material such as canvas as a blade and AC electrical generator.This wind turbine is better than normal wind turbine as it in portable model.Based on the result,the efficiency of this vertical axis wind turbine is only 12% but the led spotlight still can light up.Experiment shows that the minimum wind speed for turbine to rotate is 2.05m/s.These portable wind turbines would bring change and evolution in wind turbine industry through bringing the general awareness regarding clean sustainable energy and increasing the overall efficiency.
