  3. The Idea • Instead of designing a wind turbine that met all of the criteria and produced large amounts energy, a building that was aesthetically appealing and had a fan integrated into it was chosen. • The building is specifically designed to catch wind and then concentrate it on a central fan.

  4. The Design • The design concept was generated to maximize wind speed and utilize it to create as much power as possible. • Also, the building design was supposed to be as modern and aesthetically pleasing as possible.

  5. Central Fan • The building is engineered to have a single, large central fan. All of the wind is concentrated on that fan. The fan itself isn’t specially designed, but it is integrated into the building and will serve all the purposes necessary to produce power.

  6. Making the Wind Perpendicular • Since this is freshman year, we don’t have the classes/knowledge to integrate everything we wanted into our building. • But according to Will, the one fan in the back of the room has a criss- cross cardboard pattern for a reason. • We added a grate in front of our wind turbine to make all the wind that hits it perpendicular to the fan blades. • This should use all the wind and maximize the production of power.

  7. Building Design -Grate in front of the fan to maximize the wind and utilize it for optimal power output.

  8. Why this design • The funnel effect of the building increases the wind speed. • The greater the wind speed, the greater the power by a cubed (3) variable. • P = .5 * AD * (D^2*.7854) * V^3

  9. Wind  Power • P(max) = ½ p (v^3) (pi r^2) • = ½ *1.2*(8m/s)^3*(pi*5m^2) • = 24,127 watts • P(actual) = 0.59 Na Nb Ng Pmax • =0.59*0.50*0.95*0.90*24127watts = 6,085 watts • 6085 watts * 24 hours * 365 days/year = 53.3 mW/h

  10. Location - Boston, Massachusetts Average wind speeds of 12.4 mph (5.5 m/s)

  11. Prototype - hotel

  12. Prototype • The prototype shows the building near a body of water where there is sufficient amounts of wind. The opening of the building will face towards the water to catch the most wind. • A nice feature to our design is that it can catch wind from both sides • Ex: East and West wind gusts
