About the Practice
Problem Statement:

Interrupted power supply, unavailability of infrastructure to supply electricity to every house hold is a major challenge in rural areas. An average individual cannot afford to lay infrastructure to receive electricity for his home. The challenging situation made the innovator to develop low cost wind mill.


Detail:

Major problem faced in rural areas are interrupted power supply, unavailable infrastructure for supplying electricity to every household and others. This entire problem has a cost and the average individual cannot afford to lay infrastructure to receive electricity for his home. This problem led the innovator to develop low cost wind mill, sufficient for producing electricity for a household (1 kvA).It is a wind turbine for producing electricity sufficient for a household (1 kVA). The windmill can be installed near the house or on the roof with an RCC construction. The windmill has been found producing up to 0.8-1.2 kVA (80 volt @ 10-15Amp) electric power at a wind speed of 3-3.5 m/s.
