Wind Turbine: Capstone
Our team built a wind turbine out of PVC pipe, some tinker toys, and a DC motor. We tested two different types of blades. The first we tested were made out of balsa wood and the second were made out of aluminum and we added curvature to them. We found that the metal blades with curvature worked significantly better than the balsa wood blades.
