Construcción de un prototipo de aerogenerador casero

Abstract

This project focuses on the design and construction of a homemade wind turbine for small-scale renewable energy generation, using recycled and low-cost materials. Its main objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of producing electricity in an accessible and sustainable way, promoting the use of clean energy. The development of the prototype is based on the application of Faraday’s Law, which explains electromagnetic induction, and a detailed analysis of the electrical and mechanical components involved. The construction of the wind turbine was carried out in several stages, from theoretical review and software modeling to assembly and testing under different wind conditions. To keep costs low and ensure an ecological approach, recycled materials such as PVC pipes, neodymium magnets, copper wires, and reused components were used. The system design includes a rotor, an alternating current generator, and a stable support mechanism. After its construction, the prototype underwent experimental testing, successfully generating electricity on a small scale. Despite its limitations, the results demonstrated that it is possible to develop efficient energy solutions with accessible resources.
