1 Daniel Alexander, Sarah Crabtree, Erick Foster, and John Collins

2 Device Design Turbine made out of 12 ga. aluminum sheeting Base and stand are wood Plexiglas generator and pulleys Rubber O-ring for belt Shafts are 1/8” Stainless Steel Tig Rod

3 Mechanics Angled blades to increase rotation 2 to 1 ratio pulley system 400 ft. of copper magnet wire 4 magnets

4 Efficiency Theoretical Power P= Power in Watts ρ= Air density (kg/m 3 ) A= Area of fan exposed to wind v= Velocity of wind (m/s) Actual Power I= Current (amps) V=voltage Efficiency

5 Design/Construction Issues First design had horizontal turbine Support problems Belt for pulley system Attachment of generator to base Materials for pulleys

6 It was fun and educational! Implementation of previously learned knowledge Rotational kinetic energy- pulley system Conservation of energy Project success Stronger magnets and more wire coils Great Team! Conclusions
