Abstract
One of the major issues in this fast-moving world is to meet the demand for energy in the most economical and environmentfriendly way. This research focused on designing a Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that gives a solution that is comparatively a cheap alternative to renewable energy. When there is enough wind to rotate the windmill, magnetic coupling between the rotating and stationary coils causes the windmill to produce energy. The work demonstrates a vertical rotating prototype of the windmill. The wind turbine can charge up to a 12V battery. The advantage of this design is that it works without any consumption of fossil fuel and works efficiently inappropriate weather conditions with- out being closely monitored and the battery charges automatically without any harmful emissions or drawbacks. The work presented in this paper is an example of how natural resources like wind energy can be used efficiently to produce electricity.

I. INTRODUCTION
Windpowerhasemergedasoneofthemostcost-effectiverenewableenergysourcesinrecentyears.Windturbines thatgeneratepowernowadaysusetried-and-truetechnologyandofferareliableandsustainableenergysupply.Thefirst known wind turbine created for electricity production is built by inventor Charles Brush to provide electricity for his mansion in Ohio. A wind turbine is a device that converts wind’s kinetic energy into electrical energy. The costs of producing wind energy have reduced by 80 percent since the last century. Today, wind energy is regarded as the least expensiverenewableenergysource.Onthemarkettoday,windturbinesareuseful.Vertical-Axiswindturbineshappento be the most popularand widelycovetedturbines. Itis alsomore practical,reliable andcost effective,italsohasthe best longevityanddurabilityfeatures.Therefore,wewillbeabletouseefficientlyoveralonghaul.

Today, wind energy is thought to be the most affordable type of renewable energy. Currently available wind turbinesserveapurpose.Theiranalysisindicatesthattheverticalaxiswindturbinecanbeabletoattaintheairfromall the direction and produces the power of 1 kilowatt for a movement of 25 m/s. D.A.nikam et al. analysed that the generationofelectricityisaffectedbythegeometryandorientationofthebladeinthewindturbine.Heanalysedtheblade plays critical role in the performance and energy production of the turbine. Altab hossain et al. analysed that the power production will increases when the velocity is high. Parth Rathod et al. study of a combined vertical axis wind turbine review. The experiment is conducted to increase the power production and efficiency of a wind turbine. The outcome suggeststhat a turbine's efficiencyis always dependent onthe windspeedand weather.

1.2.1 Need and Scope of the Project
Themostsignificantsubjectinthe worldrightnowisrenewableenergy.Theworld'sfossilfuelsupplieshavebeen shown to be quickly depleting. Wind energy has been proven as a promising renewable option. Institutions, residences, andenterprisescanallusetheelectricitygeneratedbywindturbines.Nowadays,horizontalaxiswindturbines(HAWTs) are the most familiar type in use. But vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have several benefits, such as it can capture wind fromanydirection becauseitsshaftisvertical.Inrural locations wheregrid energycannot bedeployed owingtoa lack of infrastructure, such systems can be a more practical choice. Moreover, in an interruption or a breakdown of the grid, a vertical axis wind turbine could act as a backup. In un-electrified areas, basic electric energy needs are usually obtainedbybatteries,whicharechargedbygridelectricityavailableincitycentres.Therefore,verticalaxiswindturbines couldplayanimportantroleasanalternativeandcost-effectivesourceofbatterycharging.

1.3.1 System Design
A windmill uses blades to transform wind energy into rotational energy. The blades of a windmill are aerodynamically optimized to make the most of the energy in the wind and turn it into rotational energy making the bladesspinaround.Thewindmillisdesignedwithanumberofvariationsinthebladeandthewindmilldesignedforthis researchworkhas4blades.Throughagearboxthatinturnturnstheshafts,thesebladesarelinkedtoagenerator,which transforms mechanical energy from the blades' spinning into electrical energy.
