Worldwide dependence on “GREEN ENERGY” can comprehensively be impacted by Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) as they possess huge prospective to contribute towards ever growing demand of green energy. For sustainable contribution of VAWTs, these turbines should be made utilizable outside their conventional farmland environments. This project features goal to utilize the power of urban environment to produce energy using VAWTs effectively and efficiently. The main purpose of this project is to design a wind turbine to utilize wind energy from atmosphere and vehicles on the highway. The turbine will be placed along medians of highways and sides of highways and effective circumstances will be considered in this report. The turbine will be designed under modern engineering standards and is given modern and effectively smart design. They also can be installed on parks, roads, public facilities or other amenities. The proposed Helix wind turbine for highways are designed to produce power up to 100 watts depending upon conditions. The power generated through turbine can be used to provide electricity to streetlights along the highways and for miscellaneous use.
