| description | It is commonly accepted that the earth’s fossil energy resources are limited, and the global oil, gas and
coal production will be depleted in time to come, causing prices to escalate. Among all the available
renewable sources, wind power systems have developed to prominent suppliers of electrical energy. Wind
energy has seen an exponential increase, both in power ratings and overall capacity.
The purpose of this project is to design and develop a switch magnetic field generator/motor for a vertical
wind turbine using Neodymium Iron Boron magnets. Research was conducted on various designs of
existing generator topologies and electromagnetism methods. The final design was selected based on
complexity and cost. Throughout the semesters, a demo prototype has been re-designed to evaluate the
effectiveness of the system.
Using the theory of attraction and repulsion forces between the electromagnets, a rotational force is
induce to create a driving motion for the prototype. The magnetic field strength of the electromagnets
does not solely depend on the core material itself, but also on the amount of induced current and number
of turns of coiled wire around the magnet. At the end of this project, I will evaluate my current prototype
and give practical recommendations to improve the design.
Harnessing free energy would be a continuous pursuit of the world and by going green in today’s context
would greatly reduce the stress caused on nature. |
