Abstract:
At the present time conventional energy resources such as traditional wind turbine generators are getting depleted and their uses are causing environmental degradation. This problem is overcome by switching to non-conventional energy sources like aerodynamically-induced fluttering. This project presents the efficiency of wind speed with an aero elastic flutter based belt as an energy harvester to generate electrical energy for various charging devices. The flutter in the belt has been used to convert wind flow energy into mechanical vibration, which is then transformed into electrical power. Working of wind belt electric generator is based on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. Experiments in controllable lab conditions were conducted to compare the performance of the prototype design of energy harvester wind belt. We propose that such energy transducer (wind belt generators) can be used as small, green and an alternative or complementary power supply to batteries in low power consumer electronics applications. Moreover, this method of wind energy generation does not consist of any mechanical rotating parts; therefore it is highly efficient and cost effective.
