sustainable Agri Winds project involves installing 3D turbines along highways to convert the pneumatic force from moving vehicles into electricity. These turbines capture airflow generated by passing cars, trucks, and buses, converting it into electrical energy, which is stored in battery modules. The stored electricity can then be used to power agricultural activities, such as irrigation systems, and supply electricity to farmers and power stations.
The project’s efficiency is maximized when turbines are installed in high-traffic areas like metro lines and railways, where the continuous and high-speed movement of trains generates more power. This innovative approach provides a renewable energy source, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and supports essential services in both urban and rural areas. By integrating these turbines into transportation infrastructures, the project promotes sustainable energy generation while enhancing the overall power supply for various critical applications.
