Detail Photo |

This is a photo of the original Pico Turbine almost exact to the one that we built. As you can see it is made poorly with some cheep parts it didn’t stand up very well to any testing, yet it did provide us with a good sense of what a turbine is and how they operate. Although poorly built the concept was good and it provided the Foundation to our design. |

More testing of the turbine. Me holding it because it likes to shake at high speeds. |
|
|
Testing the turbine, using the cardboard in the front to adjust the wind flow going into the turbine. |

|
The other group members. That were quite elusive to the camra. |

Our project at the convention on display. Shaking like crazy because of the bent shaft. |

-Endurance test, 150Mph winds for 5 minutes without showing sign of fatigue
-Output test,
-Led Test, the led lit up and melted after 5 minutes at 150 mph wind.
-Low wind test,

The Project was fun I learned a great deal about wind turbines and things to improve on them. It was good to meet new people and work with them. I feel that the whole group put in a good effort to make this the best turbine that we could come up with.
