The project aims to design a wind turbine from which the wind energy is caused by the relative motion between vehicle and the wind. By using the auxiliary power sources electric vehicle itself generates the electric power required to drive the vehicle during dynamic condition. Compared to conventional fuels used in modern vehicles the energy storage capacity of this is very low, due to the lack of capability of storing sufficient amount of energy to run the vehicle for a long time. The efficiency and performance of electric vehicles are better than the engine driven vehicles. Utilizing the wind energy caused by the relative motion between the vehicle and the wind by auxiliary power source like horizontal, vertical wind turbines can generate the electric power required to drive the vehicle during running condition.
