DESIGN OF ON-BOARD BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM FOR WIND POWERED ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Vehicles had become a part of our lives and their use has risen up to the sky in few years. The fuel combustion engines are now being replaced with electric motors that use batteries for propulsion. These vehicles have brought major advantages than the fuel driven vehicles to the environment and also the human race. The main idea of our project is to bring a power source that uses wind energy to recharge the battery in the vehicle. This can be done using wind turbines mounted on the same vehicle's framework to minimize weight and not disturb the torque. The circuit used for charging the batteries grab the voltage from the rotating wind turbine. To prevent effects in discharge, this circuit is capable of recharging the batteries one by one. This recharging system can recharge the vehicle's batteries once they fall below the threshold level and keeps us on the run instead of searching for a recharging station around us. Also the battery status, efficient charged time and multiple parameters can be known with connecting our mobile app with the device installed in the vehicle
