  2. The Blue Meanie This device was made using Pringles cans as the fans and it was also constructed of scrap wood. The Generator is made of a magnet rotating about the inside of another Pringles can wrapped with magnet wire.

  3. Mechanical and Electrical Aspects • Mechanical • Air blows the fan which makes the blades spin • The fan turns the rod which the magnets are connected to • Electrical • As the fan turns, the magnets that are connected to the rod of the fan turns to create a magnetic current • The current cycles through the wire and into the light bulb to create electricity and lights the bulb

  4. Efficiency Calculations • ρ = Density of air = 1.204 kg/m3 • A = Area of fan blades = π*(.114 m)2= .0408m2 • v = Velocity of wind = 15mph = 6.71m/s • PTheoretical = 1/2ρAv3 = 10 Watts

  5. Cost • Pringles Can - $1.00/each • Wire - $20.00 • Magnets - $5.00 • CD’s - $1.00/each • Wood Scraps

  6. Issues • Performance • Testing went bad numerous of times • Time • We all were pretty busy through the month of April with classes, jobs, extra curriculum activities, and etc. • Fan • Couldn’t get the fan to spin • Couldn’t figure what we wanted to make the fan out of • Wire • Couldn’t seem to find the right type of copper wire

  7. Conclusions • We learned how to generate electricity • We loved the experience working together in a group • Our project seemed to work when we tested it • We are happy to be finishing up with EF 152!!!!
