WIND TURBINE PROJECT

WIND TURBINE PROJECT

Group members: Devon Martinez Vu Nguyen Alex Oyler

Building process

- Identify: Wind turbine that can produce 6W of power- Ideation: Darrieus, Lenz and Savonius rotors

- Refinement: Darius and Lenz rotors, materials chosen, foam insulation, rip-stop nylon- Analysis: Darrieus and Lenz rotors built

Discussion Bill of materials Viability:

Based on our reasonable dimensions, materials… associated with the components, the prototype will be able to charge a cell-phone of 5-6 W of energy.
