  1. Project Overview ENGR-1020-100 Fall 2007 Wind Turbine Team 1 Jerry Bernardini

  2. Project Goals • Design and build a Picoturbine improved wind turbine • Build the turbine with used hard drive magnets • The no-load voltage will be three times the Picoturbine • The turbine will be weather proof • Project ready for testing by Thanksgiving

  3. Project Team and Skills • Jerry Bernardini - Electrical Engineering Major • Electrical circuits • Tom Jones – Civil Engineering Major • Wood working • Billy Joel – Computer networking Major • Spread sheets and ideas • Clark Gable – Acting Major • Presentations and reports

  4. Project Description • A purchased kit was built and tested • The kit parts used as part of a larger turbine • Magnets obtained from hard drives • Wind new coils • Test new magnet coil combination • Build wind capture section • Complete construction • Test

  5. Competitive Analysis

  6. Technology Features • Moving Permanent magnets • No commutate needed • Coils wound to 400-turns with 20 Gauge wire • More voltage • Lower coil resistance • Wood turbine construction • Vibration reduction • Easy to modify

  7. Team Resources

  8. Team Procedures • Jerry is the leader for the first seven weeks • Frank is the leader for the last seven weeks • Highlight any procedural differences from regular projects of this type • Discuss requirements, benefits, and issues of using new procedures • E-mail during week • Meet before every class • Exchange Engineering Journal sketches and notes

  9. Schedule • High-level schedule milestones Phase 1 Picoturbine Phase 2 Phase 3 Sep Nov Dec Oct

  10. Current Status • High-level overview of progress against schedule • On-track in what areas • Behind in what areas • Ahead in what areas • Unexpected delays or issues • Wire for new coils are delayed
