As-Suwayda-Sana
A young engineer from the endosperm governorate creates a wind turbine with a height exceeding three meters to produce energy and invest it directly in heating, which confirms the Syrians ability to creativity and innovation.
The engineer, Diaa Al-Abdullah, 30 years old, explains to SANA correspondent that his main motive for this innovation was to face the shortage of energy resources and the effects of the crisis that resulted in long hours of electric rationing and large material costs during the winter for heating in addition to supporting the issue of searching for clean and free energy sources.
And Abdullah explains that he based his innovation on the great availability of wind in the winter season with his work on connecting the turbine to a fireplace specially designed for this purpose through ordinary copper electrical wires.
The turbine that Abdullah placed on the roof of his house in the town of Salim in the countryside of As-Suwayda as he indicates is of a vertical type and is safe to use and works without noise in a way that draws air and its production reaches 800 watts per hour, commensurate with the nature of the region and the strength of the wind in it.
Al-Abdullah pointed out that he used to design the turbine aluminum material for the wings and steel iron for bridges and columns with paint to protect them from weather factors in addition to installing protections from lightning strikes as they are at a high altitude, based on studies in this regard.
And can use the turbine, according to Abdullah, to feed the house with electricity after adding savings and some electronic circuits with the possibility of linking it also with solar energy devices when solar radiation decreases in the winter to heat the water.
Al-Abdullah, who employed his study of mechanical engineering in many aspects of his innovation, which took six months to work, also taking advantage of some academic and theoretical information he collected regarding the electrical aspect of it.
Many difficulties were faced by Al-Abdullah until he came to his innovation, most notably. It also illustrates the lack of tools to work and the accuracy of the details in the turbine in addition to the costs of its material design.
And Abdullah seeks during the coming period, as mentioned, to develop his project through the use of solar energy as a hybrid system in the event that the wind is still to be a substitute for it in operating the turbine and generating energy so that the heating is continuous without interruption.
Engineer Abdullah is a graduate of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering from the University of Damascus in 2013 and currently works in the General Electricity Company and hopes to support his innovation and generalization to put him in the service of his countrymen and its application within the mountainous regions that are the most fuel-consuming and at the same time rich in winds.
