Our Project

As global energy demands escalate and non-renewable resources dwindle, there is a pressing need to explore sustainable alternatives. Renewable energy, notably wind and solar power, emerges as pivotal solutions for future energy needs. Our team endeavors to integrate these resources into a cohesive system capable of generating power during periods of low solar or wind activity.  Our primary goal is to design a compact renewable energy generator specifically tailored to meet the needs of farmers in remote rural areas where access to sufficient electricity for essential agricultural machinery is limited. By downsizing the project, we enhance its versatility, enabling users to deploy the device wherever it's needed most. Our strategy involves reducing the generator size to optimize energy output while minimizing costs and spatial requirements. The central objective of our endeavor is to create a dual solar and wind generator capable of generating a minimum of 100 W of power. It must be easily transportable by a single individual and resilient enough to withstand winds of up to 45 mph. To achieve this, we integrate a "sunflower" concept for the solar panels, allowing them to track the sun's trajectory throughout the day to maximize power generation. Additionally, we utilize horizontal axis wind turbines, similar to those employed in large-scale wind farms, to effectively harness wind energy.  By combining innovative design principles with proven renewable energy technologies, our project aims to empower rural communities with reliable, sustainable energy solutions while fostering environmental stewardship and technological advancement.
