Sustainable charging solution using wind power and recyclable materials
Fuel prices have been on a steep rise in recent months. As a result, it is vital that alternative and relatively cheaper means of transport which are environmentally sustainable are explored.
However, these other cheaper and environmentally sustainable modes of transportation may have an impact on our country's limited resources, such as an unstable and insufficient supply of electricity.
Build and design a wind-powered charging station modeled out of scrap metals, and other recyclable materials. Thereby giving purpose to e-waste while providing sustainable charging infrastructure.

3D CAD model of the wind-powered charging station showing the complete design structure
Physical model of charging station with self-designed circuitry for power management
Machining of parts for the charging station using recyclable materials
Testing the wind turbine and electrical systems for optimal performance
Analyzed fuel price trends and electricity limitations in Ghana to identify key requirements
Created detailed 3D models optimizing for wind capture and structural stability
Built physical prototype using recyclable materials and custom circuitry
Conducted wind turbine testing and power output optimization
This project demonstrates how sustainable engineering can address multiple challenges simultaneously
