HIGH QUALITY COTTON TEXTILE IN EGYPT BY VAMM WIND TURBINES

Abstract

Like many countries, our country faces problems nowadays, some of which must be taken seriously, as they are grand challenges for Egypt. One of the biggest challenges urgently needing to be solved the lack of energy due to its high consumption for industrial purposes. We must focus on a source of energy not traditional to generate energy and make a feedback mechanism. The industry that was chosen to work on is the cotton textile industry. A suitable solution was selected with requirements (quality, effectiveness, sustainability, availability and amplitude, and safety) and using wind energy due to high efficiency, availability, and the turbines design VAMM (vertical-axis Magnus model). We constructed a prototype with sensors and other components, all put into a wooden box, to make a test plan for the design requirements, which are the dimensions quality and color quality of the cotton textile product. After finishing the prototype and moving to the test part, a test plan was done for the prototype to evaluate the design requirements well. Three trials were made for dimensions and three others for the color. In dimensions trials, the obtained results were promising. We got results of lengths from the sensors (49.8, 50.1 and 49.7 cm) as the actual width is 50 cm, so we calculated the average error (0.4+ +0.2 + 0.6 / 3)*100 = 0.4%. Also, in color results, sensors showed in the three trials of each RGB color: Red: 254, 252, and 255, so the average is 253.67 (0.785%), green: 252, 253, and 250, so the average is 251.67 (1.3%) and blue: 253, 251, and 25, so the average is 253 (1.18%).
