Abstract

In 2020, over 50% of residential properties in the United States were outfitted with carpet flooring, boasting an average longevity ranging from 10 to 18 years. Carpets are crafted from various fibers, including woven nylon, polyester, polypropylene, or wool fibers. Historically, nearly 6 billion pounds of discarded carpets were directed to landfill sites, perpetually undergoing decomposition processes. My current project entails the fabrication of a wind turbine blade utilizing a NACA2415 aerofoil type (HAWT) constructed from polymer composite material derived from recycled carpet waste. The composite material integrates banana-hemp-glass fiber reinforcements, produced via hand lay-up technique. Rigorous assessments of tensile, flexural and impact strengths are conducted, yielding comprehensive insights. Based on outcomes, following conclusions are drawn regarding performance of HAWT employing the hybrid composite material blade featuring a modified aerofoil design incorporating lift-enhancing methodologies. Derived parameters reveal that elevating tower height and inlet velocity for the rough surface blade yield optimal actual power output and efficiency for the wind turbine.
