Innovative Compact Twin Whirly Bird-based Wind Turbine: A Sustainable Solution for EV Charging Infrastructure

Abstract

The global adoption of whirly bird vent roofs across various industries underscores their utility in harnessing wind energy for cooling purposes within warehouses and similar environments. The innovation proposed in the current study builds upon this established technology by integrating semi-perpetual motion principles into a compact twin whirly bird-inspired wind turbine design. This novel approach aims to enhance power generation efficiency, thereby offering a sustainable solution for energy production. The compact twin whirly bird turbine concept represents a significant advancement, particularly in the context of powering electric vehicle (EV) chargers. As the demand for EVs continues to surge, concerns persist regarding the availability of charging infrastructure. By integrating the proposed innovative wind turbine technology into the EV charging ecosystem, we address this critical issue while simultaneously promoting the adoption of renewable energy sources. The key to our proposal is the deployment of small-scale wind turbines in diverse public locations, thereby democratizing access to clean energy generation. Unlike conventional large-scale wind turbines, our whirly bird-inspired turbines boast versatility in installation, akin to streetlamps, facilitating widespread deployment across urban landscapes. While these turbines may yield comparatively modest power outputs relative to megawatt-scale counterparts, their strategic placement ensures a decentralized network capable of powering EV charging stations. In summary, our research presents a compelling solution that bridges the gap between EV charging infrastructure availability and the utilization of renewable energy sources. By leveraging the inherent advantages of whirly bird-inspired wind turbines, we offer a practical pathway towards sustainable energy provision in public spaces, thereby facilitating the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
