  1. Team Members: Will Glass Ted Kocak Zac Reeves The G.F.P.E

  2. The Device • Plywood Base • 2x4 Wooden Stands • Fan Blades • Small Box • Magnetic Wire • Magnets • Light Bulb

  3. How Windmill Works • Wind Spins Fan Blades • Fan Blades Turn Magnets Perpendicular To The Wire Coil • Magnets Disrupt Magnetic Field Of Coil • This Causes Electric Current • Electric Current Lights Bulb

  4. Problems • Wire Coil Needs To Be Small • We Tried Several Different Sizes Of Coil • The Only Coil That Generated Electricity Was Barely Bigger Than The Magnets • This Caused Several Designs To Be Scrapped

  5. Efficiency • Voltage Required To Power Desk Fan: 120 V • Voltage Our Fan Produces: 1.5 V • Efficiency = Output / Input • 1.5 / 120 = .0125 = 1.25%

  6. Conclusions • Strong Magnets And Small Coils Are The Key To This Project • Generating Electricity Is Not An Easy Task
