3. INTRODUCTION
• We've heard of solar powered cars, now it's time to welcome
wind powered vehicles.
• Which has same basic technology – wheel!
turbine!
Some mechanical
instruments!
Aerodynamics!

5. PRINCIPAL OF WIND POWERED VEHICLE
Kinetic energy
Electric energy
Mechanical
energy
6. PRINCIPLE
Wind-powered mechanical
vehicles primarily use wind
turbines installed at a strategic
point of the vehicle. The wind
power, which is converted into
mechanical energy through
gears, belts or chains, causes
the vehicle to propel forward
Wind turbine
9. It will require the
spinning of a fan at
the back in order to
create a whirlwind
effect, with the
resulting force
causing a forward
motion for the whole
Magnus effect
10. LIST OF SOME ON ROAD WIND POWERED
VECHICLE.
• Vento mobile
• Spirit of Amsterdam
• Eclectic.
• Blackbird
11. VENTO MOBILE
-
A vehicle that can drive against the wind
powered by wind energy only.
University of Stuttgart design and build.
-The Vento mobile.
Won the first prize at the Racing Aeolus.
12. “
”
• Wind turbine transform
kinetic energy to
electrical energy.
• Electrical energy is stored
in a D.C battery pack
• D.C battery pack
connected to a controller
which is converted to A.C
power source .
• A.C power source is
connected to powerdiod.
• By the help of power diod
make the engine run..
14. SPIRIT OF AMSTERDAM.
It uses wind turbine to capture the wind velocity and uses
mechanical power to propel the vehicle against wind.
Capable of driving 6.6 meters / sec. with a10 per sec. wind
On-board computer system
capable of automatically shifting gears in a
fraction of second, by this gears are shifted to their most
efficient position.
15. BLACK BIRD
It is an experimental land yacht build to
demonstrate that it is possible to travel
faster then dead downwind.
It can travel more than twice the speed
of circulating air.
2.01 times faster than the
wind
In 40mph wind it can go up to
126mph.
16. VENTURI ECLECTIC • Its top surface has a wind turbine.
• The Eclectic has two forward and
two reverse "gears" that are driven
by its electric motor.
That motor then gets electricity from
a pack of Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) batteries.
It can go up to 50 km/h.
• In fully charge only wind energy can
increase its speed up to 15 km/h
17. ADVANTAGE
• The wind is natural source of energy.
• Generate energy from wind turbine.
• Free, Forever.
• Reusable.
• No green house gases or other pollutants.
• In future wind has an important role to developed a new world.
18. DISADVANTAGE
• The strength of the wind is not constant.
• Wind turbines are noisy.
• Each one can generate the same level of noise as a family car
travelling at 70 mph.
