The goal of this project was to create a wind turbine that could power little street lights. Considering the typical wind speeds in chennai India and ease of construction the design of the wind turbine chosen to be sea hawk/enlil design from vertical axis wind turbine category.The VAWT is coupled to a disc type alternator and mounted on the road dividers of a highway. The wind speed on the median of highway roads will be significantly higher than at the pedestrian walking lane as it is propelled by passing traffic from both sides. The power generated can be stored in a battery bank which is placed under the windmill and utilized at night time for lighting purposes on the highway.
