1. INTRODUCTION
When If the efficiency of a wind turbine is increased, then more power can be
generated thus decreasing the need for expensive power generators that cause
pollution. This would also reduce the cost of power for the common people. The wind
is literally there for the taking and doesn't cost any money. Power can be generated
and stored by a wind turbine with little or no pollution. If the efficiency of the
common wind turbine is improved and widespread, the common people can cut back
on their power costs immensely. Ever since the Seventh Century people have been
utilizing the wind to make their lives easier. Windmills have 5-6 blades. While past
windmills have had 48 blades. Past windmill also had to be manually directed into the

2. SCOPE OF WORK
To utilize the available wind resources and to reduce the usage of non-renewable
energy resources. Wind energy is by far the fastest-growing renewable energy
resource. The wind energy industry so far has been supported by market incentives
backed by government policies fostering sustainable energy resources. Large-scale
wind facilities approaching the output rating of conventional power plants, control of
the power quality is required to reduce the adverse effects on their integration into the
network. These wind turbines can be used to provide constant lighting. Buildings
rooftops can be an excellent location for this type of wind mill, both because the
electric power generation is close to the user and because they allow taking
advantages of faster winds and also it is possible for generating power in rural areas
and hilly tops where electric transmission lines are difficult to reach. It can be
installed in more locations like highways, in parking areas etc.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
The forces and the velocities acting in a Darrieus turbine are depicted. The resultant
velocity vector W, is the vectorial sum of the undisturbed upstream air velocity U, and
the velocity vector of the advancing blade. Types of vertical axis wind turbines are as
follows.

6.5. Hardness
It is the measure of resistance to penetration and abrasion, which is a function of
stress required to produce some specied type of failure. It is generally expressed as a
number. Toughness The ability of material to absorb energy in the plastic range is

10.3. Pulley
A driven pulley is attached on the top of the generator. The driven pulley has a
diameter of 10 cm and the driver pulley has a diameter of 6cm. the center to center
distance between the pulley and turbine is made adjustable and we take the mean
distance as 90cm. there is also a mechanism for adjusting the height of the generator
through a lever mechanism.

Where x = center to center distance between the driver and the driven pulley.
The angle of contact of the assembly is 147.76 degree which can be calculated
from the below equation.

13.2. Batteries
The runtime of an inverter is dependent on the battery power and the amount of power
being drawn from the inverter at a given time. As the amount of equipment using the
inverter increases, the runtime will decrease. In order to prolong the runtime of an
inverter, additional batteries can be added to the inverter. Battery used for this
construction is Lead Acid Battery.

15. CONCLUSION
Our work and the results obtained so far are very encouraging and reinforce the
conviction that vertical axis wind energy conversion systems are practical and
potentially very contributes to the production of clean renewable electricity from the
wind even under less than ideal sitting conditions. It is hoped that they may be
constructed used high-strength, low- weight materials for deployment in more
developed nations and settings or with very low tech local materials and local skills in
less developed countries. The Savonius wind turbine designed is ideal to be located on
top of a bridge or bridges to generate electricity, powered by wind. The elevated
altitude gives it an advantage for more wind opportunity. With the idea on top of a
bridge, it will power up street lights and or commercial use. In most cities, bridges are
a faster route for everyday commute and in need of constant lighting makes this an
ecient way to produce natural energy.
