Project Title

Wind Power Operated Eco-Friendly Bike

Objective

Availability of energy, its source and cost have become key points in development over the last couple of decades. Ever rising demand and consumption of conventional fueled energies despite fast depletion of the resources have encouraged development of green energy sources. Green energy technologies are modern day solutions to the problems of conventional energy generation. Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. In this direction our project is focused on use of wind power for driving the motor bike. Our objectives of the project are:•To effectively design the Wind Mill rotor blades such that maximum power from the wind is extracted.•To successfully design the electromechanical system comprising alternator, battery and inverter to store the wind energy in the form of electricity.•To develop a cost efficient, eco-friendly and user friendly bike for all ages.•We would like to involve the user group to evaluate the effectiveness of our research project. If they are satisfied, we will

    The journey to find an alternate source of energy that is in accordance with past events and current trends in technology has introduced new methods for human beings to care for the environment and to protect earth’s natural resources. An alternate source of energy that this paper will be covering is wind power. This is not a new discovery but overtime it took a fresh and better tactic. History will reveal that hundreds of years ago, windmills were already use in Europe in wind farms with wind turbines in order to gain as much as wind energy as possible. This is an effective method in producing the maximum wind energy; however, there are pros and cons that one has to be aware with in this kind of alternative source of energy.…

    Long time ago, ancient mariners used sails to capture the wind and explore the world. Farmers once used windmills to grind their grains and pump water. Today, more and more people are using wind turbines to wring electricity from the breeze. Over the past decade, wind turbine use has increased at more than 25 percent a year. Still, it only provides a small fraction of the world 's energy. Therefore, wind power or wind energy is the energy extracted from wind using wind turbines to produce electrical power, windmills for mechanical power, windpumps for water pumping, or sails to propel ships.…

    Everyone in the world is affected by energy in some way, but most of us do not have a choice in the energy we use. Fossil fuels are at their bitter end a billion years in the making all taken way in a couple hundred (Barrett). Wind, solar, hydropower, and many more are nearly unlimited and are in nature's good will. Alternative energy is a major topic of…

    The wind power industry first developed in Iran around 200 B.C. The first windmills were vertical axis wind turbines, which were used for pumping water and grinding whole grains for food consumption. The Chinese, Romans and Afghans all used windmills around this time for similar use. In the 13th century Holland started developing large horizontal axis windmills. These four-blade windmills were larger, carried more torque and wind speed and could do more work than other windmills previously designed. These windmills were also used for grinding and pumping water, but on a more productive level.…

    A few days ago, I was outside walking around the farm when I noticed a small knoll in the long pasture, not far from the farm buildings (35). I discovered that it was the highest point of the farm and thought to myself; ‘This would be the perfect place to build a windmill.’ The windmill will be used to generate electricity through a dynamo by using energy from the wind. I have learnt this information from the trusty books I have read so I can assure you that this project will not fail.…

    Wind Energy

    Definition of Wind Energy “Wind Energy - Energy received from the movement of the wind across the earth. This energy is a result of the heating of our oceans, earth, and atmosphere by the sun. Turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power.” The German physicist Albert Betz calculated in 1919 the possible maximum amount of energy that can be extracted out of wind energy. He came to the result of 59.3% that can be extracted and named this calculation Betz' law. Further the extracted energy is converted into electricity with an efficiency of 70% and would give all together a total efficiency of 41%. Observing the world's physical supply of wind energy you will come to the result that 200-times more wind energy is supplied then what the planet earth's population consumes . Definition of Wind Actually wind is a function of the sun thus wind is a solar energy. This signifies that wind is a cause of the differential heating of the earth's surface. Local winds are due to the faster heating of the onshore and slower heating of the offshore because of their specific temperature. Onshore warm air which is less dense rises up into the sky. Where cool air from the sea's surface with a higher pressure moves to the onshore and fills in the place of the warm air. This is caused by the nature which is always trying to find a balance thus a wind accrues. http://www.hydro.com.au/system/files/ images/Flash/convection-static.jpg History of Wind Energy More then 3000 years ago the history of wind energy in form of using wind mills began in Persia today's known Iran. Wind energy which is one of the oldest energy forms was used to pump water or to grind grain. Soon this technology spread over Middle East, Central Asia and then to China. The windmills were turning horizontal and the axis was fixed vertically. In the late 12th century wind mills finally reached Europe where the Britain’s and French were the first country's to…

    This concept is basically about the reserving railway tickets for passengers. This method can be used as an online method for reserving tickets as well as canceling of reserved tickets. This system maintains whole of the database in an efficient way as it uses SQL database. This is permanent data storage method and chances of data loss are only if the database crashes. This system is meant for use by Indian Railways for handling reservations only. The system must cater to all passenger services provided by Indian Railways and must minimally provide support for reservation of different classes of seats/berths, onward journeys, wait-listed tickets and RAC tickets. Providing support for reservation will also require that the system records…
