The main object of the work described in the report was to develop a wind-driven, power-generating system which would operate effectively in regions where strong winds do not prevail. A standard automotive alternator was modified to provide a suitable charging unit for a 36 volt bank of batteries. The torque required to overcome the static friction of the drive train was determined and a unique method of design was developed to match the available starting torque of a specific rotor with the required static torque of the drive train and charging unit. A rotor was designed according to the aerodynamics of axial flow wind turbines and a model was tested in the wind-tunnel of the Aeromechanics Division to establish the characteristics of its performance and starting torque.
