2. Our Design We designed a rig to record wind speeds at higher altitudes with a fan blade passing through a photogate. Pretty much a home made Anemometer.

3. Our Expectations Our first thoughts were to observe the speed of the wind at 1000 feet and see if the speed is increased by elevation. Our hypothesis was that the wind speed would increase with the height

4. Results Our results were inconclusive. Due to the labquest’s unknown problem, our data was corrupted during flight. Frozen screen

5. Conclusions We concluded from watching from the ground that the wind’s intensity did increase with altitude because of the way the strings angled when they got up to the 1000 feet. Other than that we do not have any data to back up any conclusions that we have made today.
