Cyclic Pitch Vertical Axis Turbine Inspired By Birds

Inspiration:

Birds use their wings to generate lift and thrust for locomotion. The difference in air pressures around the airfoil shaped wings generates lift and thrust. Birds also flap their wings and while flapping they also pitch (rotate) them about a lateral axis. Their wings are spread out during down-stroke and folded in during the up-stroke.

development of rail side windmills

As apart of our final year project, our team is working to set up vertical axis wind turbines(VAWT) along sides of railway tracks. We intend to utilize the gust of wind produced by trains moving by to move these vertical axis wind turbines and generate electricity.

Doubling Output From Solar PV Panels

Solar photovoltaic are gaining popularity in the age for sustainable clean renewable energy source grows louder. It is well known that Sun’s energy on earth is expressed as 1kw/ square meter at AM 1. Many PV technologies have been developed to convert this energy into electrical energy. The efficiency of conversion is around 12 to 14%.

Drag Reduction In Vehicles Using Appendages

INTRODUCTION

A major contributor to global warming is the burning of fossil fuels for various activities. Passenger cars consume billions of gallons of petrol or its derivatives each year to power their internal combustion engines. About 53% of usable energy from the engine goes into overcoming aerodynamic drag. Nearly 40% of the car’

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. If you live in drought stricken California, that old saying may ring true. With over 1000 miles of coast California has plenty of that salted variety, but fresh water resources have been taxed to the limit.

One solution that several coastal communities have leveraged is desalination by reverse-osmosis method.

ECHY: Solar Lighting With Fiber Optics

Why do we turn on the lights when it’s sunny outside? For many of us, artificial light has completely replaced natural light. Lighting can account for up to 50% of building electricity consumption, and up to 56% of energy bills in offices.

Artificial light is not only costly for us and for the environment,

Electric Bus Self Dependent for its Own Energy

Every car does bump while it runs. It is seen more with passenger bus’s back position. We can extract electrical energy from an electric bus. The amount of power that is extracted from it is more than its expenses for running.

Four dynamo/electric generators will fit besides two sets of rear spring plate/pati and it rotation by by-cycle system’

energy harvesting magic leaves

NANO LEAVES

Nano leaves convert the visible spectrum of light and also convert invisible light, known as infrared light or radiation. Due to the unique abilities of Nano antenna electromagnetic collectors in these Nano leaves which convert visible and mid-infrared radiation into electricity, the energy harvesting continues hours after the sun has set.

The more wind,
