Vertical axis wind turbine dual mode (Solar and wind)

Description

A wind turbine is a machine that converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machineries, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, or more commonly a wind turbine (wind energy converter WEC). The result of over a millennium of windmill development and modern engineering, today's wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis types. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging or auxiliary power on boats; while large grid-connected arrays of turbines are becoming an increasingly important source of wind power-produced commercial electricity.

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaic convert light into electric current using the photoelectric effect. Solar power has become increasingly practical over the last several years. It has gone from a relatively expensive source of electricity to a reasonably economical one. But even beyond the money, it can save you on your electrical bill, solar power has tremendous advantages for your home. In this project, we will design a wirelessly controlled car system (a prototype) in which the car unit will derive power with the help of the solar panel unit. The remote unit will be through a battery.
