Development of a Wind Turbine to Recharge a Vehicle’s Battery

This article presents an electricity generation system using a wind turbine prototype (MiniTurbi), installed in a four-cylinder 2014 Honda CR-V Honda model truck. The MiniTurbi used the energy coming from the wind that collides in the vehicle, which allowed the MiniTurbi mechanism to generate 0.11364 kWh at an average speed of the truck of 40 km/h, the vehicle battery stores the watts (W). The kWh generated by the MiniTurbi reduce the consumption of magna gasoline in 0.015 L, with the above it stopped emitting 0.033 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The total cost of the MiniTurbi was $10.36 dollars. The electric power generated by the MiniTurbi helped to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels (magna gasoline), it also allowed the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as CO2, methane (CH4), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), among others which contribute to Climate Change and reduce the environmental impact of transport systems.
