Wind Energy Based on Board Charging System for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

Vehicles had become a part of our lives and their use has risen up to the sky in few years. The fuel combustion engines are now being replaced with electric motors that use batteries for propulsion. These vehicles have brought major advantages than the fuel driven vehicles to the environment and also the human race. The main idea of our project is to bring a power source that uses wind energy to recharge the battery in the vehicle. This can be done using a wind turbine mounted on the same vehicle's framework to minimize weight and not disturb the torque. The circuit used for charging the batteries grab the voltage from the rotating wind turbine. To prevent effects in discharge, this circuit is capable of recharging the batteries one by one. This recharging system can recharge the vehicle's batteries once they fall below the threshold level and keep us on the run instead of searching for a recharging station around us.
