1. Power Simulation By: David Lehinger, Jarod Moore, Gus Franco
McKinney High School
POE (Principles of Engineering)

2. Research Summary
Jarod Researched Solar power to find that, when simulated in our system, powers up to 2 residential LED’s, and, When powered in real life, can power an entire home
Gus Researched Wind power to find that, when simulated in our system, assuming to spin the crank fast, can produce up to 5 LED’s, and, When use in real life can power 2 to 5 homes per turbine (assuming its windy enough)
David researched the hydro fuel cell, only to find that it barely produces enough to power 1 LED, therefore we dumped it, although in real life they can manage to be amazing batteries for other power sources

3. 24 Hour Electrical Energy Demand Scenario
Design Brief
Client-Residential and Industrial
Design Problem- Create a 24 hour simulated power supply/demand system
Constaints-Using (2)Solar panels and/or (2)Hydrocells and/or a wind turbine create a simulated 24 hour demand cycle Shown below
