Abstract

This research targets the design of an Electric car with wind turbine that will be installed to generate electrical power to charge the batteries when in motion. This wind powered car will have a wind turbine on its backside. During motion the wind flowing through wind ducts will rotate the turbine. This rotary movement is transferred to the mechanical component which will convert rotatory motion into electric energy. Along with the concept of wind turbine, Regenerative braking systems help to lower consumption in hybrid vehicles and reduce their carbon footprint. They can also increase the range of electric vehicles. Regenerative Braking System is the way of slowing vehicle by using the motors as brakes. Instead of the surplus energy of the vehicle being wasted as unwanted heat, the motors act as generators and return some of it to the overhead wires as electricity.
