The need of electrical energy is still depend on the fossil energy. Based on the data, Indonesian fossil energy reserves are decreasing, example oil reserves are merely enough for the next 23 years. While gas reserves are assumed will last until 50 years into the future and then coal for the next 80 years. If Indonesia only depends on fossil energy sources for the next 23-80 years, Indonesia will face a lack of energy supply. Therefore to overcome the case above, there is should be an effort to produce a renewable energy.. In this research, we took the initiative to take advantage of the wind gusts from the passing motor vehicles using helical windmill to overcome the unstable wind speed as an alternative source for lighting on roads, especially highways. The purpose of this study is to improve the effectivity of aerodynamic to the moving helical windmill as a source of an alternative energy.And the advantage of this blade is it can rotate continuously because it can recieve the wind from all direction and although the wind energy is very small the blade can still rotate. This study begins with designing a helical windmill, then a generator which is able to convert wind power into electricity. The generator designed consists of eight coils (1000 windings per coil), a saving current using 6 volt of battery, 1 ampere of transformer and the maximum rotation obtained is 12 volts. From this research, it can be concluded that the rotation speed of 367 rpm will produce 6.1 volts voltage, rotation speed of 406 rpm will produce 6.8 volts voltage, and rotation speed of 451 will be obtained 7.3 volts voltage.
