Wind is a renewable and non-polluting form of energy. Technological advancements have been made to harvest wind energy, most common of which is generation of electricity by using turbines. This paper discusses energy extraction from an application of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) i.e. a Turbo Ventilator. The ideology is of harvesting energy in the form of electricity by using an alternator and piezoelectric transducers. The construction consists of rotating internal shaft connected to alternator, external shaft with movable sleeve on which governor is mounted and piezoelectric transducer with pressure induction plate. The alternator will produce electricity by the rotation of the shaft whereas the pressure applied on piezoelectric transducers will induce an emf. Project focuses on checking the feasibility of energy generation using piezoelectric transducers, satisfactory results of which will help develop a VAWT employing such a system to produce more electricity.
