Junior STEM Soc presents... Design a simple wind turbine capable of lifting a cup off the floor up to bench height The winning team will be the one producing a machine that lifts the most weight The winning team will be the one producing a machine that lifts the most weight Wind Power Challenge

Turbines producing electricity need to spin fast so have fewer (typically three) thinner blades Turbines that harness wind power to drive machinery need a higher torque and to be more stable They generally have a higher number of larger blades Turbines that harness wind power to drive machinery need a higher torque and to be more stable They generally have a higher number of larger blades
