3. Objectives
Create a generator with the capacity to power a small, LED light
Design a windmill capable of operating the generator
Produce the desired effect as efficiently as possible

4. Procedure Fan blades were constructed from potato chip can
Mechanical energy from wind is used to operate the pulley system
Pulley system rotates magnets in the generator, converting mechanical energy to electrical energy

5. Don Quixote

6. Power and Efficiency

7. Development Issues Mounting fan blades to the device
Determining whether to use gears or a pulley system
Choosing a magnet rotating inside a wire coil or a wire coil rotating inside of a magnetic field
Producing enough energy to power the LED light

8. Conclusion Windmill meets required goals
Effectively converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
Produces enough electrical energy to power LED light
Though several problems were encountered, most were overcome
Efficiency of device was not spectacular
Windmill and generator are simple, yet yield consistent results
