4. INTRODUCTION
 Wind is one of prominent source of renewable
energy.
 All renewable energies ultimately comes from
the sun except tidal & geothermal energy.
 The earth receives 1.74*10^17 watts of power from
the sun (per hour).
 In this only 2% of energy is converted into wind
energy,which is about 50-100 times more than the
energy converted into bio-mass by the plants on the
earth

5. CONCEPT
 A wind power car converts wind power into
electrical energy,there by helping the car move
forward.
 There is an intake
valve seated on the
roof to a mass all the
wind needed to power
the car.
o An alternator connects
to the intake valve which
converts K.E to E.E.

6. CONCEPT
 This electrical energy is conneted to a D.C battery
pack which is the source of power to a controller
 This controller converts the D.C voltage to A.C 3-
phase voltage with the help of power diodes

7. HISTORY
 Intially wind was used to drive sails so that vehicles
move forward .
 Today due to increase in pollution and global
warming sceintists have thought of an device for
the ways of developing a wind power car.
 The first wind power car was designed by the
students of university of stuttgart in august 2008
 The first car race is in september-7,2008,in the
netherlands.

9. WORKING PRINCIPLE
 WHEN THE CAR RUN To get the most out of the
smallest surface we have to use a turbine with a
large contact surface .such turbine will have only
one active side .

10. It would make vehicle look like this:

11. oThe unusual wind – powered car hit a top speed 2.86
Times faster than the wind during one recent run.

12. The generated electric energy is stored in a DC
battery which is connected to a controller. The
controller converts the DC current in to AC.

13. USE
 It can use as a alternate power source of car
 It can use in wind-zone as power for drive the car

14. The ever-intensifying drive to discover
clean, renewable energy technologies
has in recent years led to developments
beyond the lab and the drawing room
and into the real world.
 That wind farms now produce 3.2% of
the energy used in the US, 9% in
Germany, 17% in Portugal and an
astounding 26% in Denmark.

15. ADVANTAGES OF WIND
POWER
 Wind Energy as Green as Can Be so no pollution
 Free Power, Forever
 Wind Power Can Go Anywhere so need not cary
any other thing
 Reusable so it will never end.
 Once the wind turbine is built the energy it
produces does not cause green house gases or
other pollutants

16. DISADVANTAGES
 The strength of the wind is not constant and it varies from zero to storm force.
This means that wind turbines do not produce the same amount of electricity all
the time. There will be times when they produce no electricity at all
 Many people feel that the countryside should be left untouched, without these
large structures being built. The landscape should left in its natural form for
everyone to enjoy.
 Wind turbines are noisy. Each one can generate the same level of noise as a
family car travelling at 70 mph.
 Many people see large wind turbines as unsightly structures and not pleasant or
interesting to look at. They disfigure the countryside and are generally ugly.

17. CONCLUSION
 And here wind act as a alternative fuel. Hence this
car use wind power as the fuel and its economical
and it is also an ECO FRIENDLY car it will not spoil
the environment and if this become popular and
we can use this means the will be a better
environment. This can be used in sports car so we
save our environment. As per the quote SAVE OIL
SAVE INDIA, we can also save india by saving fuel
by the help of this wind power car
