Mission Overview Measure lateral wind speeds at different altitudes

Design

Testing Wind Tunnel

Ice test temperature Inside temp Outside temp

Whip test

Drop test

Staircase Test

Wind speed will reach a max at Jet stream Between 4 and 8 miles high mph Altimeter of bike computer will not function properly speed of ascent and maximum altitude Right before burst wind will measure at or close to 0 mph. Expected Results

Ability of bike computer to work in cold temperatures and at high altitudes Structural integrity of anemometer blades Biggest Worries

Mission Statement: Find an optimal altitude for wind power generation Mission Objective: Record data on wind velocity that we can analyze and interpret LEVEL 0: We will use a bike computer to record wind velocities with an anemometer we will make, we will also make sure its under 850 grams Level 1.1: Internal data storage for the bike computer 1.2: Make sure the heater works properly 1.3: No anemometer interference with string tube Level 2.1: Bike computers internal power is enough for entire flight 2.2: The heater works and has enough power for the entire mission 2.3 Light weight cage for small impact protection of anemometer Requirements Flowdown
