1. Windmill Energy Team Members : Gerrit Hale Heather Boynce Marion Osborne Thomas Thurman “ Hit or Miss”

2. Design Simplistic design: 1.Propeller 2.Horizontal Axis 3.Magnet 4.Copper Wire 5.Stand

3. Design/Construction Issues o Propeller Catching enough wind Turning the horizontal axis o Wire Not having right kind Wrapping the generator the best way Having enough to form a strong magnetic field o Horizontal Pin How to make it Frictionless. o Magnet Best magnet How to attach to produce magnetic field.

4. Mechanical/Electrical Aspect Horizontal pin used to easily collect a direct wind source Horizontal pin needs to be frictionless to produce the most energy. Connecting the copper wire and wrapping it to form a current with the rotating magnetic field.

5. Estimated Efficiency Equations Kinetic energy of fan: -KE= (1/2)mv^2 M= mass in kg V= velocity of fan blades Power of wind in watts: -P= (1/2)mv^2 = (1/2) ρ(air) Av^3 A= area exposed to wind V= wind speed Rho= air density about 1.225 kg/m 3 - It would be impossible to be 100% efficient due to resistance, friction and human error.
