Smart Highway Technique using Wind Turbine with Vertical Axis (VAWT)

An idea intends to use vehicle motion to generate electricity on the highways. In order to generate power, a Wind Turbine with Vertical Axis (VAWT) is used. A Wind Turbine with Vertical Axis is positioned in middle of the median of the highway. Vertical Turbines frequently move in the direction of the wind flow as a result of the rapid movement of vehicles. The project's primary focus is on producing power and using it for street lighting and the Toll Plaza's roadways. In this project, a Savonius wind turbine is used. This vertical wind turbine is linked to a generator that produces power by a gear system. This is a technique that will be used in the future to produce electricity on the side of the road, along the highway. Future uses of this project include either energizing the batteries of the electric vehicles or energizing the batteries of electric vehicles that are already on board. Although the Wind Turbine with Vertical Axis (VAWT) has low efficiency than the wind turbine with Horizontal Axis (HAWT), it has potential to play a significant role in production of power in the future.
