Engineering Projects/Wind Turbine

Problem Statement

to create and test a wind turbine that would successfully converted kinetic energy from the wind into a source of electricity that can be used to supply electricity to other devices. this device will hopefully serve as an example for the concept of wind energy

summary

the previous team that worked on the wind turbine were able to create and test their wind turbine using DC motor and a dual radiator fan; they were able to use the energy generated from the wind turbine to power up 8 LED lights. for this project we will attempt to create a horizontal wind turbine that would demonstrate the concept of wind energy,and would be able to generate a measurable amount of energy that can be used to power up another device.
