Xuanming Zhou
To provide an alternative to fossil fuels, Xuanming Zhou's research emphasises the importance of utilising renewable energy sources in innovative design. Although wind is everywhere, the application of wind turbines is very limited. Despite several commercial wind turbines, few studies have been reported on the home wind turbine. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to design DIY home wind turbine for the backyard. After evaluating the feasibility and functionality of the prototype, the design will eventually be promoted to households across Australia. To enhance appeal, Xuanming has created a vivid, aesthetic design that differs from traditional commercial wind turbines yet retains functional efficiency. This project also attempts to overcome some of the shortcomings of the current industrial wind turbine, such as noise and harm to birds.
