Detail description	Detail Photo
First project. This project we didn’t really modify. We followed the instructions to detail and created the turbine that was instructed.

First you need Wood for the base and supports. Next you need a wooden axel screws, brackets, Barings, a fan blade, water bottle cool aid can and tape, eight coils, eight magnets, glue, and tape.
Build your base using the picture above and drill round holds in the coffee can and two wooden supports for Barings and then glue Barings in holes( make sure they are glued in straight!). Next wrap coils around the outside of cool aid can. Your next step is to glue and tape magnets around the water bottle and also trill who holes in the water bottle, on the top and bottom for the axel.
Next insert the wooden axel threw the water bottle and insert the water bottle into the cool aid can( MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS CENTERED) make sure the magnets are aligned with the coils and there is hardly any space between the magnets( use foam poster board to get rid of space between magnets and can) and the coffee can.
Last again make sure everything is centered and your project is complete make you project look a little better by painting it or covering it with colored paint.

Turbine Test Procedures

Measure the generator resistance with the digital Voltmeter (DVM).
Place a small piece of reflective tape to a dark surface of the turbine
Connect the DVM to the turbine output leads.
Connect one side of the resistor load to the DVM common (black).
Start the fan and adjust the speed and position for the minimum turbine out (must have AC signal).
record the minimum and maximum wind speed
Record the average RPM, DVM voltage and DVM frequency for each load condition.
Increase the wind speed for the next target speed and record data.
Repeat the procedure until the maximum wind speed is obtained.
Turn in the Team data sheet to the instructor for coping.

Conclusions

In conclusion although we didn’t get the power we wanted to watched our turbine grow from a little piece of smushed up materials that when it turned on it almost blew apart to something we didn’t actually mind standing next to.
