Abstract

The term “carpet” is often used interchangeably with “rug,” but there is a technical distinction. Rugs are generally smaller and can be easily moved, while carpets are typically larger and cover a significant portion of the floor. Carpets are commonly used to enhance the comfort of indoor spaces, provide insulation, and contribute to the overall design and atmosphere of a room. Polymer composite materials also known as polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are a type of composite material where polymers (plastics) serve as the matrix material. My current project involves creating a wind turbine blade (HAWT) out of carpet waste polymer composite material and analysing its features. The banana-hemp-glass fibre reinforced composite material used in this experiment are made by hand lay-up. Tensile, flexural, and impact strengths are thoroughly investigated and provided. The following conclusion has been formed based on the findings obtained by horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) using hybrid composite material blade with modified aerofoil design of lift boosting techniques. The parameters derived from the result. When the tower height and inlet velocity of the rough surface blade were raised, the actual power of the wind turbine was determined to be optimal.
