Design and implementation of Vehicle Mounted Wind Turbine

Vehicle Mounted Wind Turbine (VMWT) is a mounted horizontal axis wind turbine system for vehicles. This
paper presents design and implementation of VMWT to generate electricity from vehicle. VMWT has several smart
features including high rpm turbine, convenient weight, practical shape and portability. In addition, this paper evaluates the
VMWT performance in terms of power generation. It is shown that, with proper designing, VMWT can generate
approximately 200 W of power at vehicle speed of 80 km/hr. A number of design considerations have taken into account
for designing VMWT to ensure its proper functionality in practical environment.
