Abstract:
This study presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of a portable wind generator designed to harness wind flow generated by moving vehicles for electricity production. With a growing emphasis on renewable energy sources and the need for sustainable power solutions, innovative approaches such as utilizing vehicle-induced wind currents have gained attention. The portable wind generator under examination is engineered to capture airflow from passing vehicles and convert it into electrical energy. Through a combination of field experiments and theoretical analysis, the performance and efficiency of the device were assessed under various environmental and traffic conditions. Factors such as wind speed, direction, and vehicle velocity were considered in the evaluation process. The results indicate promising potential for the portable wind generator as a supplementary power source, particularly in environments with high vehicular traffic. However, challenges such as variability in wind patterns and optimal positioning of the generator remain areas for further investigation and refinement. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of utilizing unconventional wind resources and provides insights into the practical implementation of mobile wind energy technology for sustainable electricity generation.
