Inspired by the growing popularity of developing structures that can make use of renewable energy sources, this project aims to develop a helical wind turbine. The blades will consist of a helical twist that resembles the shape of DNA. We have selected a vertical design for these turbines as this allows them to capture wind in any direction. Therefore, it is necessary that the blades are curved and angled so that as much surface area is exposed to the wind. One of the main advantages of helical wind turbines is that they emit relatively little noise, in contrast to regular wind turbines which produce high-pitched sounds. Another advantage of these turbines is that they can produce energy with the presence of very low wind speeds. This small scale wind turbine will be used to power a street lamp, with the aim of the project being to send this structure to a developing community.
