Executive summary
In the coming decades, the threat and consequences of
climate change and of the re-concentration of crude oil
production in the Near East will compel industrialised nations
to make much more efficient use of energy. R&D that helps
realise energy efficiency potentials is likely to be regarded as
important in scientific, entrepreneurial, and political realms.
Demand for highly energy-efficient technologies will rise
steeply, and firms that can provide them will prosper. The
identification of energy-efficient technologies and related
energy conservation potentials undertaken in this pre-study is
a first step toward designing a R&D strategy that is consistent
with the need to evolve towards a 2000 Watt per capita society.
Reaching this level by 2050 implies reducing primary energy
use from 1200 to 460 PJ per year, despite a projected 65%
economic expansion.

Akram Elhenawy believes the mining industry in Africa is increasingly interested in renewable energy solutions as storage solutions improve. Remote mines in Africa currently rely on diesel generators but renewables are becoming more financially attractive due to fluctuating diesel prices and issues with logistics, security, and maintenance costs. While mining companies have been conservative about new technologies, investments in renewables in countries like Chile show they can reduce costs and improve competitiveness. For renewables to truly take off in Africa, reliable long-term partnerships must be established between mining operators and energy providers to guarantee system performance over the lifetime of mines.

Wind power is one of the clean renewable energy resources.Therefore the importance of implementing this resource in Kuwait draws our attention to make this research to emphasis on the technical and economic aspects due to acceptable environmental conditions. Whereas, in some areas of the world, such as in Japan, has some geographical and electrical restrictions such as power fluctuating for land wind generation. And the introductionof large amount of wind power generation tends to be extremely difficult and even impossible in some location. This research is aimed to concentrate on the visibility of utilizing the wind energy as complementary source for the existing steam and gas turbine power stations in Kuwait, furthermore point out the economical perspectives that will guide us to take the right decision. The location of wind farms is very important in this aspect where we cannot build such projects inside the cities between buildings besides meeting the minimum requirements for economic generation. The study prove to us that even at a location which is almost close to the inhabitants buildings ( Kuwait airport ) can get accepted results the historical data was collected from the weather station at internet. The implementation of wind turbine farms is foreseen to be economic in generation for long run and encouragestepping up toward putting the infrastructure design. Furthermoreit is an opportunity for creating new job vacancies.
This document describes a student project to design and build a speed breaker that can generate electricity. The speed breaker uses a rack and pinion mechanism to convert the vertical motion of vehicles passing over it into rotational motion. This rotational motion is used to turn a generator shaft and produce electricity. When a vehicle passes over the speed breaker, its weight causes the breaker to move downwards. This downward motion is transferred to a rack gear connected to the speed breaker. The rack gear engages with a pinion gear connected to the generator shaft. The rotation of the pinion gear spins the generator shaft to produce electricity that can be stored in a battery. The design is intended to efficiently capture wasted kinetic energy from vehicles on

The study aimed to design and construct a portable wind power bank, using quantitative research method to profoundly explain the concept and define the problems that will make an improvement for the ideas in developing the project. One type of wind powered battery charging will be explored in this paper. This can be used in times of power interruptions, in the absence of electrical sources, during outdoor activities away from home where charging is a necessity, and most specially to save money by minimizing electrical consumption. It is designed to be installed fixed on home rooftops when at home but can be detachable and can be carried whenever necessary. It is an energy saving device for the reason that it may not need any external source of electricity. It consists of a wind turbine driving a generator and operates at variable speed. It consists of three different modules which are power supply module, power storage module and phone charging module. All these modules consist of different components that perform different functions. The power supply module consists of the components' physics, the principles and the design. The power storage module includes the components parameters responsible for the restoration of energy to the battery after it has been used to charge mobile phones. There is connecting port between the power bank power storage and charging module and the phone charging module through which it can be connected in order to recharge phones as well as to recharge the power bank from an AC source. This paper analyzes the property of the system components. The effect of parameter variation and the system configuration on the system performance are investigated. Ramon L. Pitao, Jr. | Sunny E.

7. ABSTRACT
Through the next several decades, renewable energy technologies, thanks to their
continually improving performance and cost, and growing recognition of their Environmental,
economic and social values, will grow increasingly competitive with Traditional energy
technologies, so that by the middle of the 21st century, renewable Energy, in its various forms,
should be supplying half of the world’s energy needs."
We has selected this as our final year project so as to begin thinking towards power
generation through clean sources such as wind and wave. Power generation in our country is
very low at present. Industrially developed states like, Maharashtra is suffering through major
power shortages, and this is a signal of major crises. Even in cities like Mumbai peoples are
suffering from power cuts.
The air & wave-generator is specially planned to design and fabricate the conversion
unit for utilizing the available unconventional energy source. That is tremendously available
energy in low intensity with ample quantity can be utilized.
In this project wind & wave turbine charges a 12 volt battery and runs various 12 volt
appliances. We have fabricated the small scale wind & wave turbine on the basis of design
calculations and made changes in design to track it with manufacturing constraints.
8. NEED FOR PROJECT
In our country due to increased paying capacity, advanced lifestyle and
rapidly growing industrialization, the need & demand of transportation is increasing day- by-
day. The number of vehicles rolling on the road is increasing daily. Hence chances of accidents
are increasing while crossing the road especially by the children and old persons. So it became
necessary to install the speed breakers ( in true sense speed reducers) at the school building or
Hospital building- side road or highway. If these speed breakers Yes! In true sense it is speed and
ultimately breaker the opposing impact energy supplied by the hard speed breaker will apply
massive thrust impact on the soft leaf spring and suspension system of the vehicle, which
perhaps may get broken. Also it may cause damage to the occupant goods or passengers.
Hence we, the group of our class found the need of designing and
manufacturing such a system, which will make the speed breaker somewhat flexible, soft which
will not damage the vehicle more also the impact energy being absorbed by the generation
system will be utilized to convert it in to electricity rather than this hard impact transferring to
damage the suspension.
Here on working this group task we over-comed our following needs:-
we became able to have market survey
doped capability of designing a system by collecting necessary data.
Learnt actual practical fabrication processes of the sub-components of the system.
Planning the cost estimation ands budget.
Duties of a technician or an Engineer.

SELECTION OF THE PROJECT
We the group of young engineers found that, there is an
impending need to make much more forays to make Non Conventional energy attain popular
acclaim. This is also very essential to preserve the conventional sources of energy and explore
viable alternatives like sustainable energy ( the energy which we are already utilizing but for
some safety of other uses we are suddenly wasting it, that can be reutilized), solar, wind and
biomass that can enhance sustainable growth. What is more, such alternatives are environment
friendly and easily replenish able. Therefore, they need to be thoroughly exploited with a
functionally expedient, energy matrix mix.
A engineer is always focused towards challenges of bringing ideas and
concepts to life. Therefore, sophisticated machines and modern techniques have to be constantly
developed and implemented for economical manufacturing of products. At the same time, we
should take care that there has been no compromise made with quality and accuracy.
In the age of automation machine become an integral part of human being. By
the use of automation machine prove itself that it gives high production rate than manual
production rate. In competition market everyone wants to increase their production & make their
machine multipurpose.
The engineer is constantly conformed to the challenges of bringing ideas and design into reality.
New machines and techniques are being developed continuously to manufacture various
products at cheaper rates and high quality.
Growing economies, especially of Asia are gifted with sufficient resource base
and non-conventional energy technologies are consistent both for grid linked energy generation
and transmission in out of the way locales that are islanded from the grid. Adaptation of
technology and employing them should be pursued right from this moment to have a head start,
be informed of the barriers in technology applications of the renewable variety and synergizing
them with the existing, traditional power production technology and T&D networks. It is known
10. that in coming times, wind energy will be the most cost-effective renewable resource. Yet, it is
doubtful if any individual technology would hold centre-stage.
Thus we selected kinetic generator means the “Energy in motion when it is
suddenly applied with a sort of obstacle, then according to Newton’s law for every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction. Utilization of this reaction is the basic reason
behind the selection of this project work.”

11. CHAPTER -04
INTRODUCTION OF NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
The development planning process designs strategies and activities to use, enhance or conserve
both natural and economic goods and services. In big modern cities, economic goods and
services almost completely replace the natural ones.
Energy is the prime source of all socio-economic activities of the human community. The
demographic rate of growth globally and the widening spectrum of economic growth would
result in demands of energy at an incremental rate of 7 to 8% annually. This can easily support a
GDP growth of 8 to 9% per annum. Projections point toward a doubling of global energy
demands in the decade starting 2020. There will be a marked shift in patterns of energy
consumption whereby developing economies of the world would have a share exceeding two-
third of global energy consumption by that period.
Fossil fuels' consumption would remain the major source of energy generation and globally
employed power generation technologies. The apportionment of renewable energy in the entire
energy supply will continue to be marginal in the real sense. The contribution of renewable
energy-excepting hydel energy and conventional biomass-as a proportion of global energy output
is pegged at a paltry 2%. This scenario in all likelihood is not going to be altered therefore,
guaranteeing the possibility of nudging the renewable contribution up to 5% by 2020. The global
sources of fossil fuel will have become dearer due to their depletion thereby, making the viability
of fossil fuel plants restoring parity with the renewable sources. 60% of the cumulated energy
needs world-wide would be met through renewable sources.
Growing economies, especially of Asia are gifted with sufficient resource base and non-
conventional energy technologies are consistent both for grid linked energy generation and
transmission in out of the way locales that are islanded from the grid. Adaptation of technology
and employing them should be pursued right from this moment to have a head start, be informed
of the barriers in technology applications of the renewable variety and synergising them with the
existing, traditional power production technology and T&D networks. It is known that in
12. coming times, wind energy will be the most cost-effective renewable resource. Yet, it is doubtful
if any individual technology would hold centre-stage.
It was in the 1970s that the real potential and role of renewable energy sources was sensed and
identified in India for sustainable energy growths. During the past quarter of a century, a
significant thrust has been given to the development, trial and induction of a variety of renewable
energy technologies for use in different sectors. The activities cover all major renewable energy
sources, such as biogas, biomass, solar energy, wind energy, small hydropower and other
emerging technologies.
India has presently among the world's plentiful agenda on renewable energy. in the 8th Plan, vis-
à-vis a proposal of 600 MW generation, close to 1050 MW of power generating capacity
fastened to renewable energy sources was added. About 1500 MW of the total grid capacity in
the country, is now based on renewable energy sources. India is rated fourth in the world with a
wind power capacity of 1000-1100 MW. Small hydel power generation, which is especially
ideal for remote, hilly regions, presently not exploited but holds a potential of 500 MW in today's
scenario. India has an extensive cane sugar production and we are implementing the world's
biggest biogases based cogeneration programmed in agglomeration with sugar mills. There is
substantial leverage as regards to deducing energy from urban and industrial wastes. The
National Programmes lays special emphasis on supplying energy to rural areas. Close to 2.75
million biogas plants and over 28 million upgraded wood-stoves are also in use in the country.
In the sphere of solar energy use, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies are gaining
immediate reception for a host of industrial and commercial applications, as well as in Non
Electrified and Rural Zones (NERZ). The country has the world's largest assemblage of solar
photovoltaic, consisting of about 500,000 PV systems totaling to 39 MW, and encompassing
over 30 variegated operations.
There is an added emphasis on venturing into grid quality power generation Programmes
oriented on solar thermal and solar photovoltaic technologies. A 140 MW Integrated Solar
Combined Cycle (ISCC) Power Project is being accorded conclusive shape to be established at
13. Mathania near Jodhpur in Rajasthan. This will be the first of its kind, and the largest such project
in the world.
To give a fillip to power generation from renewable energy, State Governments and utilities
provide remunerative power purchase agreements and arrangements for wheeling, banking and
buy back of power. 12 States have so far announced policies for non-conventional energy based
power generation. The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), the corporate
financing arm of the Ministry, is the only Agency of its kind in the world dedicated to financing
of renewable energy projects. Interest rates vary from 0% to 16%, with special rates being
offered for projects.
There is an impending need to make much more forays to make Non Conventional energy attain
popular acclaim. This is also very essential to preserve the conventional sources of energy and
explore viable alternatives like solar, wind and biomass that can enhance sustainable growth.
What is more, such alternatives are environment friendly and easily replenish able. Therefore,
they need to be thoroughly exploited with a functionally expedient, energy matrix mix.
A revolutionary step would be the advent of renewable energy co-operatives for power vending,
installation and servicing of renewable energy systems in pockets like NERZs. With a view to
take a long-term perspective, and to actualize the entire scope of Non-Conventional energy
sources, it is incumbent to draw up a capacious Renewable Energy Policy involving all players in
the field, together with the active participation of consumers as well
In the Ninth Plan (1997-02), the accent is on according commercialization and development of
entrepreneurship in all Renewable and Non Conventional Energy Schemes and Plans. An extra
power generating capacity from Renewable and Non Conventional Energy sources of about 1500
MW is envisaged. The immediate challenge is to reconcile the reduced budgetary allocations in
the 9th Plan due to fiscal control. The Ministry of Non Conventional Energy has stated
objective of propping up 24,000 MW from Renewable and Non Conventional Energy by the year
2012.
The need is however to have adequate policy framework to be in place with an aim to provide
impetus through streamlining the structure of Renewable and Non Conventional Energy. The
14. high potential is what should spur maximum efforts. The bottlenecks are that although there are
good plans, we often fall short in measuring up to meet the desired levels of optimization of our
potential. If there is a strict regiment by which Renewable and Non Conventional
Energy Sources are utilized, India is sure to have adequate measure of success. The Numero Uno
position in Renewable and Non Conventional Energy is well within reach with a little bit of
concerted effort.

20. SOLAR ELECTRICITY
Energy from the sun can be directly converted to electricity using solar cells, also known as
photovoltaic or PVs. Today's solar electric systems have 20 to 25 year warranties, are pollution
free and can be used to offset your utility power or as stand-alone power for remote applications.
The down side to this technology is that it costs three to five times more than utility power.
BIOMASS ENERGY TECHNOLOGY has substantial potential for energy generation in
Oregon. Electricity produced from biomass grown and harvested on a sustainable basis can offset
power generation from fossil fuels and reduce net carbon dioxide emissions from the generation
of electricity in the region. Sustainable use of biomass for energy could have an increasingly
important role to play in meeting goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
BARRIERS
Supply uncertainty and transportation costs have historically been barriers to greater use of forest
and agricultural residue for energy production. New technologies such as gasification combined-
cycle power generation, fuel cells using biogas as a hydrogen source, and cellulose-to-ethanol
facilities that could co generate electricity have yet to be demonstrated on a commercial scale.
The perceived risk of these newer technologies is a significant barrier, at least in the short term.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy is energy from any source that can be maintained in a constant supply over
time. In contrast, the supply of fossil energy sources such as oil, natural gas or coal is limited.
There are five principal renewable sources of energy: flowing water, biomass, wind, the sun and
heat from within the earth.
Heat, electricity and vehicle fuel are the main forms of energy that people use every day. All
renewable energy sources be used to produce electricity. Solar energy and geothermal energy can
supply both electricity and heat. Biomass is unique because it can supply all three forms of
usefulenergy
21. SUN
The sun is a constant natural source of heat and light. Sunlight can be converted to electricity.
Solar energy is energy that comes directly from the sun.
BIOMASS
"Biomass" describes, in one word, all plants, trees and organic matter on the earth. Biomass is a
source of renewable energy because the natural process of photosynthesis constantly produces
new organic matter in the growth of trees and plants. Photosynthesis stores the sun's energy in
organic matter. That energy is released when biomass is used to make heat, electricity or liquid
fuels.
WIND
The wind blows because of natural conditions of climate and geography. Historically, wind
power was used to supply mechanical energy, for example to pump water, grind grain or sail a
boat. Today, wind power is primarily a source of electricity.
WATER
Like the wind, flowing water is a product of the earth's climate and geography. Snowmelt and
runoff from precipitation at higher elevations flow toward sea level in streams and rivers. In an
earlier era, water wheels used the power of flowing water to turn grinding stones and to run
mechanical equipment. Modern hydro-turbines use water power to generate electricity.
EARTH
Heat from deep within the earth is called "geothermal energy." In some locations, geothermal
energy is close enough to the surface that, by drilling a well to reach the heat source, the energy
can be extracted and used for heating buildings and other purposes. Where the temperatures are
hot enough, geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity.
22. CHAPTER -06
WORKING OF PROJECT
Kino Electric Converters basically new concept of non-conventional energy generation. It is
electro-mechanical energy generating machine. This machine converts reciprocating motion in
to rotary motion. The rotational power is stored in flywheel & flywheel rotates dynamo, which
generates electricity.
Here first important point is how we get reciprocating motion, which is prime input in the
system. For that we use weight of moving vehicles that run on roads. We put our machine under
ground of road exactly below speed breaker, the head of rack is bring up to level of road surface.
When vehicles move on rack it will be pushed down. The rack is attached with free wheel type
pinion that rotates in one direction only. The rack & pinion arrangement convert reciprocating
motion in to rotary motion.
This rotary motion is further magnified using reciprocating motion in to rotary motion-belt &
pulley drive. The output of pulley is attached with flywheel, which stores kinetic energy and
transfer to dynamo, which generate electricity with zero cost.
A "generator" and "motor" is essentially the same thing: what you call it depends on whether
electricity is going into the unit or coming out of it. A generator produces electricity. In a
generator, something causes the shaft and armature to spin. An electric current is generated, as
shown in the picture (lighting bolt).Lots of things can be used to make a shaft spin - a pinwheel,
a crank, a bicycle, a water wheel, a diesel engine, or even a jet engine. They're of different sizes
but it's the same general idea. It doesn't matter what's used to spin the shaft - the electricity that's
produced is the same.
23. . In the case of a wind-electric turbine, the turbine blades are designed to
capture the kinetic energy in wind. The rest is nearly identical to a hydroelectric
setup: When the turbine blades capture wind energy and start moving, they spin a
shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator. The generator turns that
rotational energy into electricity. At its essence, generating electricity from the
wind is all about transferring energy from one medium to another.
24.
25. CHAPTER-07
METHODOLOGY
Here following method is adopted to generate the electricity:-
The set up is designed.
It’s subcomponents are manufactured
The sub components are assembled together
The set up is tested for checking whether it performing it’s intended task or not.
Under this method the flywheel is the key component for energy transformation.
FLYWHEEL
Introduction
Flywheel is a device to smoothen the cyclic fluctuation of speed
change when delivering constant output power from the engine. It has no influence
on the mear speed of the prime mover. It has no influence on the varying load
demand on the prime mover or the delivered power from the prime mover. In is the
forgoing discussion, it is observed that turning moment diagrams for the cycle
show period during which torque is in excess of the mean torque responsible for
the constant power output and also periods during which the torque is less than the
mean torque. Thus the speed of the flywheel would increase during period of
excess of torque during the cycle and the speed will fall during the period of the
deficit torque during the cycle. Thus a flywheel stores energy and releases energy
during the cycle without affecting mean energy output. Thus a properly designed
26. flywheel has to ensure the cyclic fluctuations of speed within prescribed limits
preferably as small as possible.
Definition of the flywheel :-
A flywheel used in machine serves as a reservoir which stores energy during the
period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it
during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the supply.
Working of the flywheel:-
The excess energy is developed during power stroke is absorbed by flywheel and
releases it to the crankshaft during the other stroke in which no energy is
developed, thus rotating the crankshaft at a uniform speed. A little consideration
will show that when the flywheel absorbs energy, its speed increases and when it
releases energy, the speed decreases. Hence a flywheel does not maintain a
constant speed, it simply reduces the fluctuation of speed. In other words, a
flywheel controls the speed variations caused by the fluctuation of the engine
turning moment during each cycle of operation.
Application:-
Flywheel are mostly used in machine where the operation is intermitted like
punching machines, shearing machines, riveting machines, crushers etc, the
flywheel stores energy from the power sourceduring the greater portion of the
operating cycle and gives it up during a small period of the cycle. Thus the energy
from power source to the machines is supplied practically at a constant rate
throughout the operation.
27. CHAPTER 08
LITERATURE SURVEY
WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of
atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The nucleus contains positively charged
particles called protons and uncharged particles called neutrons. The nucleus of an atom is
surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons. The negative charge of an electron is
equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal
to the number of protons. When the balancing force between protons and electrons is upset by an
outside force, an atom may gain or lose an electron. When electrons are "lost" from an atom, the
free movement of these electrons constitutes an electric current.
Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. We get
electricity, which is a secondary energy source, from the conversion of other sources of energy,
like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which are called primary
sources. Many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls (a primary source of mechanical
energy) that turned water wheels to perform work. Before electricity generation began slightly
over 100 years ago, houses were lit with kerosene lamps, food was cooled in iceboxes, and
rooms were warmed by wood-burning or coal-burning stoves. Beginning with Benjamin
Franklin's experiment with a kite one stormy night in Philadelphia, the principles of electricity
gradually became understood. In the mid-1800s, Thomas Edison changed everyone's life -- he
perfected his invention -- the electric light bulb. Prior to 1879, electricity had been used in arc
lights for outdoor lighting. Edison's invention used electricity to bring indoor lighting to our
homes.
28. HOW ELECTRICITY IS MADE?
Electricity can be made or generated by moving a wire (conductor) through a magnetic field.
Magnetism
Diagram 1
A bar magnet has a north and south pole. If it is placed under a sheet of paper and iron filings are
sprinkled over the top of the paper, these iron filings will arrange themselves into a pattern of
lines that link the north pole with the south pole of the magnet (see diagram 1). These lines show
the magnetic field around the magnet.
MAKING ELECTRICITY
29. Diagram 2
If a coil of wire is moved within a magnetic field so that it passes through the magnetic field,
electrons in the wire are made to move (as in diagram 2). When the coil of wire is connected into
an electric circuit (at the terminals A and a) the electrons are under pressure to move in a certain
direction and a current will flow. This electrical pressure is called voltage.
The amount of pressure or voltage depends on the strength and position of the magnetic field
relative to the coil, as well as the speed at which the coil is turning. As the amount of electricity
changes so does its voltage.
Diagram 1
31. In the diagram above, the coil of wire is rotating in a clockwise direction. When the coil of wire
is in the horizontal position 1the voltage is greatest (diagram 4) because the coil is passing
through the strongest part of the magnetic field. At this stage the current flows from 1 to 2 to 3 to
4, out through terminal A, through the globe and back into terminal a. When the coil of wire is in
the vertical position (2), no electricity is produced because the coil does not cut the magnetic
field, and no current flows. When the coil of wire is in the horizontal position again 3 the voltage
is at its maximum (3), however the current flows in the opposite direction 4 to 3 to 2 to 1, out
through terminal a, through the globe, and back into terminal A.
The current produced changes direction every half turn (180 degrees ). This is called alternating
current or AC. The generators at large power stations produce nearly all the electricity we use in
this way.
32. CHAPTER 9
MATERIAL SELECTION
The proper selection of material for the different part of a machine is the main objective
in the fabrication of machine. For a design engineer it is must that he be familiar with the effect,
which the manufacturing process and heat treatment have on the properties of materials. The
Choice of material for engineering purposes depends upon the following factors:
1. Availability of the materials.
2. Suitability of materials for the working condition in service.
3. The cost of materials.
4. Physical and chemical properties of material.
5. Mechanical properties of material.
The mechanical properties of the metals are those, which are associated with the ability of the
material to resist mechanical forces and load. We shall now discuss these properties as follows:
1. Strength : It is the ability of a material to resist the externally applied
forces
2. Stress: Without breaking or yielding. The internal resistance offered by a part to an
externally applied force is called stress.
3. Stiffness: It is the ability of material to resist deformation under stresses. The modules of
elasticity of the measure of stiffness.
4. Elasticity: It is the property of a material to regain its original shape after deformation
when the external forces are removed. This property is desirable for material used in tools
and machines. It may be noted that steel is more elastic than rubber.
5. Plasticity: It is the property of a material, which retain the deformation produced under
load permanently. This property of material is necessary for forging, in stamping images
on coins and in ornamental work.
6. Ductility: It is the property of a material enabling it to be drawn into wire with the
application of a tensile force. A ductile material must be both strong and plastic. The
ductility is usually measured by the terms, percentage elongation and percent reduction in
33. area. The ductile materials commonly used in engineering practice are mild steel, copper,
aluminum, nickel, zinc, tin and lead.
7. Brittleness: It is the property of material opposite to ductile. It is the
Property of breaking of a material with little permanent distortion. Brittle materials when
subjected to tensile loads snap off without giving any sensible elongation. Cast iron is a
brittle material.
8. Malleability: It is a special case of ductility, which permits material to be rolled or
hammered into thin sheets, a malleable material should be plastic but it is not essential to
be so strong. The malleable materials commonly used in engineering practice are lead,
soft steel, wrought iron, copper and aluminum.
9. Toughness: It is the property of a material to resist the fracture due to high impact loads
like hammer blows. The toughness of the material decreases when it is heated. It is
measured by the amount of absorbed after being stressed up to the point of fracture. This
property is desirable in parts subjected to shock an impact loads.
10. Resilience: It is the property of a material to absorb energy and to resist rock and impact
loads. It is measured by amount of energy absorbed per unit volume within elastic limit.
This property is essential for spring material.
11. Creep: When a part is subjected to a constant stress at high temperature for long period of
time, it will undergo a slow and permanent deformation called creep. This property is
considered in designing internal combustion engines, boilers and turbines.
12. Hardness: It is a very important property of the metals and has a wide
verity of meanings. It embraces many different properties such as resistance to wear
scratching, deformation and mach inability etc. It also means the ability of the metal to cut
another metal. The hardness is usually expressed in numbers, which are dependent on the
method of making the test. The hardness of a metal may be determined by the following test.
a) Brinell hardness test
b) Rockwell hardness test
c) Vickers hardness (also called diamond pyramid) test and
d) Share scaleroscope.
The science of the metal is a specialized and although it overflows in to realms of knowledge it
tends to shut away from the general reader. The knowledge of materials and their properties is of
34. great significance for a design engineer. The machine elements should be made of such a
material which has properties suitable for the conditions of operations. In addition to this a
design engineer must be familiar with the manufacturing processes and the heat treatments have
on the properties of the materials. In designing the various part of the machine it is necessary to
know how the material will function in service. For this certain characteristics or mechanical
properties mostly used in mechanical engineering practice are commonly determined from
standard tensile tests. In engineering practice, the machine parts are subjected to various forces,
which may be due to either one or more of the following.
1. Energy transmitted
2. Weight of machine
3. Frictional resistance
4. Inertia of reciprocating parts
5. Change of temperature
6. Lack of balance of moving parts
The selection of the materials depends upon the various types of stresses that are set up during
operation. The material selected should with stand it. Another criteria for selection of metal
depend upon the type of load because a machine part resist load more easily than a live load and
live load more easily than a shock load.
Selection of the material depends upon factor of safety, which in turn depends upon the
following factors.
1. Reliabilities of properties
2. Reliability of applied load
3. The certainty as to exact mode of failure
4. The extent of simplifying assumptions
5. The extent of localized
6. The extent of initial stresses set up during manufacturing
7. The extent loss of life if failure occurs
8. The extent of loss of property if failure occurs
35. Material used
Mild steel
Reasons:
1. Mild steel is readily available in market
2. It is economical to use
3. It is available in standard sizes
4. It has good mechanical properties i.e. it is easily machinable
5. It has moderate factor of safety, because factor of safety results in unnecessary wastage
of material and heavy selection. Low factor of safety results in unnecessary risk of failure
6. It has high tensile strength
7. Low co-efficient of thermal expansion
PROPERTIES OF MILD STEEL:
M.S. has a carbon content from 0.15% to 0.30%. They are easily wieldable thus can be hardened
only. They are similar to wrought iron in properties. Both ultimate tensile and compressive
strength of these steel increases with increasing carbon content. They can be easily gas welded or
electric or arc welded. With increase in the carbon percentage weld ability decreases. Mild steel
serve the purpose and was hence was selected because of the above purpose
BRIGHT MATERIAL:
It is a machine drawned. The main basic difference between mild steel and bright metal is that
mild steel plates and bars are forged in the forging machine by means is not forged. But the
materials are drawn from the dies in the plastic state. Therefore the material has good surface
finish than mild steel and has no carbon deposits on its surface for extrusion and formation of
engineering materials thus giving them a good surface finish and though retaining their metallic
properties
36. ADVANTAGES
Following are the benefits of the wind mill
Clean source of energy.
No fuel costs
Inexpensive
Local transmission
Green pricing
Using of small wind turbine will make residential societies independent from other
sources of power.
Running cost is low. [2].
37. Dynamos
In simplest terms, a dynamo is essentially an electric motor run in reverse. The electric motor
uses magnets spinning in a metal coil to spin an axle. Conversely, spinning the axle causes the
magnets to rotate in the coil and generates an electric current moving away from the motor. A
cool experiment to try is to buy a small motor from radio shack and put it to your tongue. Spin it
and you will feel a slight tingle coming from the connectors. This is known as the Faraday effect.
Look up this effect to gain a fuller understanding of motors and dynamos.
In physics, a simple generator or machine for transforming mechanical energy into electrical
energy. A dynamo in basic form consists of a powerful field magnet between the poles of
which a suitable conductor, usually in the form of a coil (armature), is rotated. The magnetic
lines of force are cut by the rotating wire coil, which induces a current to flow through the
wire. The mechanical energy of rotation is thus converted into an electric current in the
armature.
Present-day dynamos work on the principles described by English physicist Michael Faraday
in 1830, that an electromotive force is developed in a conductor when it is moved in a
magnetic field. The dynamo that powers the lights on a bicycle is an example of an alternator,
that is, it produces alternating current (AC).
38. How does dynamo work?
But at the lowest level, if you move a conductor such as wire across a magnetic field, it
generates a current in the wire. All dynamos are just different way of packaging up a lot of wires
and moving them fast in a magnetic field. There are lots of subtleties, but the underlying physics
is the same
uses a permanent magnet which is rotated by a crank. The spinning magnet is positioned so that
its north and south poles passed by a piece of iron wrapped with wire. It was discovered that the
spinning magnet produced a pulse of current in the wire each time a pole passed the coil.
Furthermore, the north and south poles of the magnet induce currents in opposite directions. By
adding a commutator, it is possible to convert the alternating current to direct current.
In my view, and in the view of many bicycle safety experts, dynamos are usually not an
attractive option. This is for reasons of both cost and performance. Decent dynamo light sets are
much more costly than decent battery powered lights, and the battery powered lights have vastly
superior illumination than even the most expensive dynamo powered system. The problem is that
a dynamo driven by a bicycle is very limited in the amount of power that can be generated.
39. The Attraction to Dynamo Powered Lights
The attraction of dynamo powered lights is obvious; you are self-sufficient and there is no limit
to the duration that the lights can be used. Some individuals believe that having to rely on mains
power for bicycle lighting is somehow cheating. Purists may be willing to spend the additional
money for a high end, 6 watt, dynamo system, or live with the lower performance and lower
safety provided by a 3 watt dynamo powered system. Of course a few of these people will hotly
dispute the contention that a 3 watt system is less safe than a higher power system, but the
bicycle safety experts do not agree with this contention.
In well lit cities where the cyclist is familiar with their route, a dynamo system is often sufficient.
However due to the power generation limits of a bicycle dynamo, it simply is not possible to
generate enough power for lights that are bright enough for use on dark or unfamiliar routes.
Another factor is that as we age, our night vision deteriorates, and brighter lighting is necessary
for safety. Personally, I do own a dynamo. It's fine for going around a familiar town at night, and
eliminates the need to worry about batteries. However I would never use it on dark or unfamiliar
routes.
40. Design calculations
Designing of wind mill
Before going to actual designing we must consider following points
Suitable site
Types of wind mill
Aerodynamics design
Overall design of wind mill
Suitable site
While selection of suitable site we must keep a note that it must be placed where plenty of
air flows without obstructions i.e. at a certain elevated height.
Types of wind mill
From different types of wind mill the multiback flow is selected. As we have sufficient
speedy air and also losses for this type of wind mill is minimum.
Aerodynamics design
While studying on the design of wind mill we come to conclusion that blade should be kept
in a certain angle to still away the momentum from the approaching wind.
Thus the wind come horizontally hits the blade which is kept at fixed angle.
Overall design of wind mill
Designs of the components as follows,
41. 4.1 Power capacity
Calculation of Wind Energy and Power
Force = mass x acceleration F = ma (Typical Unit -Newton’s)
Energy = Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d) (Typical unit – Joules)
Power = P = W / time (t) (Typical unit –Watts)
Power = Torque (Q) x Rotational Speed (Ω)
Kinetic Energy in the Wind
Kinetic Energy = Work = ½MV2
Where:
M= mass of moving object
V = velocity of moving object
Mass of moving air
M = density (ρ) x volume (Area x distance)
= ρ x A x d
= (kg/m3) (m2) (m)
= kg
Power in the Wind
Power = Work / t
= Kinetic Energy / t
42. = ½MV2 / t
= ½(ρ x A x d) V2/t
= ½ρAV2 (d/t) (d/t = Distance/time = velocity)
= ½ρAV3
Power in the Wind = ½ρAV3
V = 40 kilo meter per hours = 11.11 m/s
V = 12 meters (m) per second (s) m/s
ρ = 1.0 kg/m3
Selecting Rotor diameter, D = 0.15 m.
Rotor radius (Length of blade), R = 0.07 m
A = (∏/4) x D2 = (∏/4) x (0.15)2 = 0.018 m2
Power in the Wind = ½ρAV3
Units = (kg/m3) x (m2) x (m3/s3)
= (kg-m)/s2 x m/s
= N-m/s
= Watt
Wind Turbine actual Power available considering losses and efficiency: -
Power in the Wind = 0.5 x ρ x A x V3 x Cp x Ng x Nb [1].
Where:
P = power in watts
ρ = air density
A = rotor swept area, exposed to the wind (0.018 m2)
Cp = Coefficient of performance (Cp is the percentage of power in the wind that
is converted into mechanical energy, 0.59 {Betz limit} is the maximum
theoretically, 0.35 practically)
V = wind speed in meters/sec (12 m/s)
Ng = generator efficiency (practically 75%)
43. Nb = gearbox & bearings efficiency (Assuming 75%).
Hence,
P = 0.5 x 1 x 0.018 x 0.35 x (12)3 x 0.75 x 0.75 = 3.06 Watts
POWER CAPACITY = 3 Watts
