Abstract

Massive energy consumption and pollution from the environment have emerged as major issues. A new alternative energy sources is a critical solution. Nowadays, the use of air conditioning machine also contains wasted heat energy resulting from the work of the outdoor unit. This research is an experimental of designing and fabricating a prototype. Wind turbine blades with a tiny Savonius Vertical Axis provide various benefits likely low wind speed to operate the rotor. The methods used are literature study, documentation and blade making and testing. The wind turbines made are four and six blades used a reducer to increase the air velocity driving the turbine blades with variations of wind speed tested 3 m/s, 4 m/s and 5 m/s. This study, we used a reducer with two model blades as a starting point, we discovered that the rotation speed was drastically improved from 18% to 71% in less than 90 s. Furthermore, while the maximum net power taken by four-blades ranges from 2% to 54% of turbine power (Watt), the –addressed. In addition, we showed for the generator efficiency indicated that the model with four blades achieves the highest power generator efficiency of 65.07% with 4.2 watts of turbine power and 320rpm of rotation speed.
