Wind energy is the fastest growing source of clean energy in the world. A major problem with technology is the fluctuation in the wind source. There is an almost constant source of wind energy on the roads due to vehicles moving fast. The motivation for this project is to contribute to the global trend towards clean energy in a feasible way. Most of the wind turbines in use today are conventional windmills with three profile blades rooted around a horizontal axis. These turbines must be rotated to face the wind and generally require significant air velocities to operate. Another turbine style is one in which the blades are positioned vertically or transversely to the axis of rotation. These turbines will always rotate in the same direction regardless of fluid flow. Due to the independence of fluid flow direction, these turbines have found applications in tidal and surface current flows. To see how effective this type of turbine would be in the air, a helical turbine was chosen based on the designs and patents of Dr. Alexander M. Gorlov. Its turbine was developed to improve the design of Georges JM Darrius by increasing efficiency and eliminating the pulsating stresses in the blades, caused by the blades that hit their aerodynamic stop in the course of the rotation, which often results in fatigue failure in the blades joints that secure them to the shaft. The turbine takes the Darrius-type turbine, which has a plurality of blades arranged transversely to the axis of rotation, and adds a helical twist to its path, ensuring that regardless of the position of the turbine, a portion of the blade is always located in the position that gives maximum elevation. This feature reduces the pulsations that are common in a Darrius type turbine. In his research, Gorlov states that his turbine is significantly more efficient than Darrius' and has achieved overall efficiencies between 30% and 35%. For this research, a helical turbine was tested in and out of a wind tunnel using an electric generator (only within the tests) and a torque meter coupled with a tachometer to measure the output power of the turbine and calculate its efficiency . In the end, the turbine did not approach the intended efficiency of 30%, achieving in the best cases an efficiency of around 0.35%.
