Overview • Device Function • Architecture Design • Methods/Concepts • Theoretical Values and Results • Challenges • Demonstration
What is a Wind belt? A device used to convert wind energy into electricity, so then it can be used to charge different electronic devices such as a cell phones.
Architecture and Methods • Mechanical/Structural Components: • Frame Materials • Aerodynamic Flutter: result of interactions between aerodynamics, stiffness, and inertial forces on a structure • Electrical Components: • Faraday “Shake Light” • Full Wave Rectification
Results Actual Calculations Expected Vs. Actual Values
Challenges • Non-ideal construction • Inner workings of the cell phone battery • Misunderstanding of equipment
Demonstration • Red LEDfor proof of concept:24 mph with awith a centrifugal fan
Conclusion • Device Function • Architecture Design • Methods/Concepts • Theoretical Values and Results • Challenges • Demonstration
