Savonious Windmill, LDR, Wind Turbine, ANSYS

The objective of this project is to generate electric power through the fabrication of savonius wind mill and to regulate the power generated in order to use that power for automatic street light using LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) and USB purpose. Wind turbine is a machine that converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. The blade is designed with the help of ANSYS software.
