This document summarizes a seminar presentation on wind power cars. It introduces the concept of a wind power car that converts wind energy to electrical energy using wind turbines and valves. The first wind-powered car race took place in 2008 in the Netherlands. It describes the working principles of how wind is harnessed and converted to electricity to power the car. Advantages are that it is renewable and produces no pollution, while disadvantages include variable wind strength and potential negative impacts on landscapes. The conclusion is that wind power cars can provide an alternative fuel source and be more environmentally friendly if adopted more widely.

3. introduction
Wind is one of the prominent sources of renewable energy.
The wind powered car that converts wind power to electric energy which in
turn moves the vehicle

4. concept
A wind-powered car converts wind power into electric energy, thereby helping the car to
move forward
there’s an intake valve seated on the roof to amass all the wind needed to power the car.
An alternator connects to the intake valve which converts the kinetic energy to electrical
energy.
This electrical energy is connected to a DC battery pack which is the source of power to a
controller.
This controller converts the DC voltage to AC three phase voltage with the help of power
diodes.

5. history
InVentus Ventomobile, the first wind-powered car was
designed by students of University of Stuttgart in
August 2008

6. THE FIRST CAR RACE IS IN September 7, 2008 in the
Netherlands

7. 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.

8. it would be better to bend the airstream onto the active area like this:

9. This ornament increases the efficiency of the wind turbine but it also allows us to "hide" the passenger in
the turbine translating a large percentage of aerodynamic drag back onto the drive train.

10. It would make the vehicle look something like this:

11. wind energy processing mechanics in wind powered card wind turbines and
valves are used also to harness the wind.

12. These wind turbines are valves are placed in such
position in the cars that they can start moving

13. The unusual wind-powered car hit a top speed
2.86 times faster than the wind during one recent
run,

14. The function of valves is to absorb the wind which is needed to
power the car. Along valves an alternator is connected which convert
the kinetic energy into electric energy

15. 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.

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

17. 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.

18. Advantages of Wind Power car
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

19. Disadvantages of Wind Power
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.

20. 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
