Abstract: Nowadays electrical energy is very essential for human beings to fulfill the requirements of day to day activities in various measures. The demand of the electrical energy increases day by day. It is most essential to promote renewable energies so that they definitely become a strong alternative to generate electrical power for small scale needs of society. This paper discusses the convergent horizontal axis wind mill which uses the bicycle wheel instead of using propeller blades for producing power. Design of the horizontal axis wind mill is discussed and presented in this paper considering the various design factors. The results observed through various experiments in the various time zones which validate the results obtained analytically.
Keywords: Convergent Turbines, Renewable Energy, Wind Power.
