Abstract

Wind energy is one of the renewable type of energy that can applicable widely because wind resources is available in most countries. By harvesting wind energy to produce electricity, the increment of electricity cost can be reduced. This project looks at which wind energy can be harvested when riding a motorcycle to produce electricity hence use it to charge mobile phones. A prototype of portable wind turbine is design and fabricated, so it is suitable to be attached on a motorcycle’s basket. Increasing in speed when riding a motorcycle cause the wind turbine to rotate faster and increasing the output voltage. The usage of 5V voltage booster increasing the output voltage produced but the output current produces is significantly low in value. This project shows that the portable wind turbine able to produce the amount of output voltage needed to charge mobile phones but the low output current produce causing mobile phones to be charge in a slower pace than the commercially used phone chargers. The prototype recommended to be used especially in a long journey when riding a motorcycle for the consistency of motorcycle’s speed and output voltage produce.
