ABSTRACT

The objective of the project is to design a wind turbine to recapture wind energy from

vehicles on the highway. Wind energy is considered the fastest growing clean energy source

however; it is limited by variable natural wind. Highways can provide a considerable amount

Of wind to drive a turbine due to high vehicle traffic. This energy is unused. Extensive
research on wind patterns is required to determine the average velocity of the wind created by

oncoming vehicles. The wind turbines will be placed on the medians therefore fluid flow

from both sides of the highway will be considered in the design. Using all of the collected

data, existing streetlights on the medians can be fitted with these wind turbines. Additionally,

since the wind source will fluctuate, a storage system for the power generated will be

designed to distribute and maintain a constant source of power. Ideally, the turbine can be

used globally as an unlimited power source for streetlights and other public amenities.

BASIC IDEA

The basic idea of this project is to produce energy from high speed vehicles moving on

highway then high velocity air comes along with them and strike on the vertical wind turbine

blades. A dynamo is also connected with turbine shaft which is also rotate with turbine and

produces electricity.
