Project Outline
- I made a model of a wind turbine that has all of the characteristics of a real wind turbine. I 3-D printed propellers that I designed using SolidWorks and connect it to a rotor. I used a 3-D printer at EMU. I will use tubes to make the tower of the wind turbine. The rotor is connected to another battery that has a small plastic propeller on it. So, when the propellers move, the small propellers should also move.
- I taped a solar panel on an angle to the tower of the wind turbine. I placed both solar panel and wind turbine to a piece of wood, so they can both stand.
- Also, I have a CAD drawing of my idea of a wind turbine and solar tracker. I designed it using the software SolidWorks. The idea of my product is that it is a wind turbine that generates energy, and it also has a solar tracker circling around it and collecting energy. So, the product uses both wind and sun to generate energy at the same time.
- All the pieces used to build the wind turbine was from my father’s lab at Eastern Michigan University.
