Team Picture

The Goal  The goal of our windmill is to generate enough electricity in order to power a light bulb using wind energy.  The windmill is to be built using ordinary materials, the cost of which cannot exceed 40 dollars.

Description  Our windmill generates electricity by spinning magnets inside copper coils.  The foundation of our windmill is made out of PVC piping.  The blades to catch the wind is a two- pronged propeller

The PVC Catastrophe

Calculations P = (1/2) x p x A x v^3 p = kg/m^3 A =.3429 m^2 v = 8.94 m/s P = 1.72 watts

Conclusions  Coiling is no fun.  Wind power is a cheap, easy form of power.
