Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine to Create Electrical Power Generation and Charging In the Vehicle Motion

Abstract

This article focuses on the design of a Diffuser Augmented wind turbine that will be installed on the vehicle to create electrical power that may be utilised to operate accessories or even charge the battery while the vehicle is in motion. The DAWT (Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine) is designed to be mounted on the roof of the automobile, closer to the windscreen, where the air velocity travelling around the car is at its maximum due to its aerodynamic nature. The horizontal axis diffuser augmented wind turbine is used for this type of design, which may provide a larger power output than conventional turbines. The torque necessary to rotate the rotor is created by the air velocity when the automobile starts moving. The support for the turbine is termed a shroud or diffuser. The car's speed is estimated to be 80kmph (22.2m/s) for the purpose of design.
