Project 10

Functional Mini Wind Turbine

Problem
Engineering class assignment to make a wind turbine that generates voltage.
Solution
Made a three-rotor turbine that generated 4.1V at its peak.
Outcome
Learned about dynamos and how to design an effective turbine blade.

Design and Test

The early sketch set the size and blade angle, while the final build was tested for peak voltage output.
