Wind Energy: Harvesting Power Through Cars P-I: Philip Cragg C-I: Michael Trepte Aaron Kenny
Abstract • The purpose of our experiment is to determine whether or not a wind harvesting device fixed to a vehicle is an advantageous or viable source of energy. We will investigate this concept through the development of our own contraption propped on top of a car. Our group predicts that our gadget will produce a sufficient amount of energy with minimal drag.
Experiment Design • Our group will create a device that will produce energy in the form of electricity. We will do this by using motors attached the cylinders with blades on them to capture wind as a car is moving. This will move the cylinders in a way that will move the motors creating energy like a wind turbine.
