The Steel Mill Windmill & Generator PVC casing All thread Steel Rod 30ga. Magnet Wire Neodymium magnets Plexiglass Duct Tape

Cost of Production PVC – Zach’s house Plexiglass – Zach’s house Prop – Ben’s dorm Duct Tape – Friend’s L.E.D’s – Friend’s Mag. Wire - $15 All thread - $3 Steel rod - $3 Nuts/Lock nuts - $2 Magnents - $16 Total Cost TC ≈ $38

Electrical and Mechanical Aspects ElectricalMechanical Magnets spining create an electrical current through magnetic field The current then lights a small L.E.D Wind turns the prop The prop turns the rod and magnets inside the generator

A Look at Efficiency

Design Issues Finding Materials Producing enough energy Mounting generator in PVC Tolerance to spin in steel rod Positioning magnets

Conclusions Successfully lit 2 L.E.D’s An estimated efficiency of 6.11% Learned how to produce electricity through a magnetic field We carefully picked materials, and did research to be productive.
