Our kit started off simple me and another  two of my team mates put it together. We thought that it was going to be a hard task to complete, but ounce the project came along we were able to have fun and luckily the only problem was trying to generate power through to the diode. When we were finished this was a small picture of  how our turbine kit looked after we put it together and tor it apart a few times

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a picture of me and  my team mate and that kit that I used as a example to help me build my own kit. I took some old spear parts  off my old kit (such as the coils) because  the coils that I was attempting to use were very weak and were coated  wire. I stole and extra coil to generate an equal amount of energy to create a current because I had 4magnets and only the 3coils so I had to add a extra ONE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I originally started building my own kit from scratch I had to go and find parts that were similar and identical to the ones we had used in class. Before running  out to RadioShack I had to make a  small list of the items that I needed.

1.wire

2.Magnets

3.diode

4.wooden stick

5.plastic bottle

6.card board

7. and a glue gun

Turbine Test Procedures

  1. Look at the website and find out what parts were needed
  2. Go out to local hardware store and gather all needed parts for turbine kit
  3. Measure and figure out the length of each side of the arms to hold up turbine
  4. Determine how many magnets and wire was needed to generate enough power through the kit
  5. Test the turbine out and see if it generates any kind of electricity
