Abstract
In our quest to use more renewable energy to reduce our dependence on non-renewable fuels man has been harnessing wind, solar and hydro energy for many years. While hydo and solar energy are well established, it is only during the last decade that serious progress in wind energy has been made. Solar energy is widely used for water or space heating while wind is used for pumping water for remote areas. This project looks into the design and development of a 6kW wind powered water heating unit.
