2. The Team  Mark: Industrial Engineering Major  Reporter, helper  Malik: Civil Engineering Major  Generator constructor, helper  Chris: Computer Engineering Major  Windmill constructor, helper  Ryan: Civil Engineering Major  Windmill constructor, helper

3. Overview of device  Fan catches wind  Spins the generator magnets  Produces electricity by inducing a current on the wire due to polarity change

4. Summary of Aspects  Mechanical Aspects  Windmill catches wind energy with blades  KE is transferred to magnets  Electrical Aspects  Magnetism transfers the rotational KE to electrical KE

5. Estimated Efficiency  Our windmill runs at 24.9% efficiency  Maximum possible efficiency is 47.1%  Too much friction in device  Could use more wire

6. Summary of Design  Simple Design  Blades catch wind and spin  rod has magnets attached to it  Spins inside copper wire (Generator)  Issues  Initial trouble spinning correctly within copper wire  friction

7. Conclusions  Device demonstrates that electricity can easily be obtained using clean energy sources.  The device lit the LED
