| Description : |
Wind mills generally are not helpful in generating electricity when the velocity of the air reduces below a certain level. A possible solution has been developed by Dineshbhai in his magneto type generator, which works particularly well in winds with low cutting speed. The output of the generator is also independent of the variations in the wind speed and is constant. |
| Salient Features : |
- Reduction in the Cut-in speed (the speed at which the generator starts producing the energy) of the generator.
- Simple in design and operation makes the device easy to maintain.
- Very suitable to generate electricity for the rural areas.
- Don’t consume any power like coal, petrol, etc.
- Cent percent environment friendly.
- The AC power produced can be converted into DC power and stored in the inverter and can be used during absence of power supply.
