Shaw STEM Lab

2. Notice!
You need to have completed ALL parts of the Wind Energy PowerPoint with the WinDynamo before continuing on!

3. What you should know
Before continuing you need to know and understand how
The WinDynamo works
Windmills convert energy
The WinDynamo converts energy into Mechanical, Sound, and Light energy

4. Materials Needed
Formulating your own windmill involves lots of small pieces
You are responsible for ALL of the materials
Be careful when cutting the materials!

5. Materials Needed WinDynamo that has no fan blades
Blade Engineering Kit
5 cm X 60.5 cm Balsa Wood
3 Blade Reinforcing Tabs
3 Screws
3 Plastic Washers
Scissors
Glue

6. Do It! Research different windmill blade shapes
Using the balsa wood, formulate 3 blade designs
All 3 blades should be identical
Attach the blades to the blade reinforcing tabs
Attach the blades to the WinDynamo using the reinforcing tabs
