Abstract: The depletion of non-renewable resources and higher energy requirement has led to a severe power crisis though there are many renewable sources and they are being harnessed to generate power wind energy is considered one among the least expensive renewable sources. Generation of energy from non renewable sources creates various complications such as a noise pollution, water pollution and air pollution. This serves as a major region to choose wind energy to generate electricity. Wind energy is considered as green energy and it can be used to harness energy in environmentally benign manner. The efficiency of the windmill is much lower than other sources of energy. This project is aimed at improving the efficiency and to simplify the mechanism of normal windmill to produce large amount of current with the help of magnets. The magnetic lines of force generated by the nature of magnets by North and South Pole of a bar magnet creates a magnetic field. To generate electricity double rotation of wind mill blades in alternate direction is used to produce more displacement for coil windings and magnets. The power generated by this process is alternative current (AC) can be directly connected to the house main supply for the further use and it needed to be stored in batteries for emergency cases. The energy generated can be used to supply power for the seashore villages or individual houses.
