A DESIGN OF BLADELESS WIND TURBINE FOR LAMP POSTS AT BARANGAY MASALUKOT 5, CANDELARIA QUEZON.

The study explores the potential of wind power in the Philippines, focusing on Barangay Masalukot V in Candelaria, Quezon. Wind energy presents an opportunity to address rural communities' power needs sustainability. Traditional turbines have limitations, prompting the investigation of bladeless turbines for increased afficiency and reducded environmental impact. In Barangay Masalukiot V, surveys revealed residents' struggles with insufficient illumination and power outages, proposing bladeless wind turbines to power lamp posts. Residents support this solution, warranting further study. The study aims to design ia bladeless wind turbine specifically for powering lap posts in Barangay Masalukot V. Objectives include collecting wind speed and illumination data, designing the turbine system and circuit design, fabricating a prototype, and testing its functionality and efficiency. Implementing wind turbines for lighting addresses illumination challenges, improves safety, and promotes sustainability. It offers a solution to unreliable power sources and insufficient lighting, fosterinbg energy independence and resilience. In conclusion, the study confirms the feasibility of harnessing wind power in Barangay Masalukot V. Optimizing turbine efficiency involves selecting the best motor generator and designing the optimal placement and wind funnel. The prototype exceeded expectations by generating power even at low wind pressure. Recommendations include accounting for weather conditions, conducting comprehensive feasibility analysis, and enhancing sustainability with a wind funnel design. Standardizing air compressor models and increasing the prototype budget for quality materials are also suggested for durability and reliability.
