How We Made It • Pringles Can • 3 Compact Disk • 2 Wine Corks • Copper Wire • Plastic Bobbins • 8 Magnets • Paper Towel Holder • 2 Nails
Mechanical Components • Spinning Pringles Can • Spinning Magnets • Rotating Nails • Stationary Paper Towel Holder • Connecting CD for Copper Coils • Linkage of Multiple Coils
Electrical Components • Magnets of Alternating Poles Spin • Pass Over Multiple Coils • Alternating Magnet Poles Creates Alternating Current
Testing Challenges • Collecting Materials • Wire Size • Magnet Pull and Gluing • Wiring • Structure Wobble
Efficiency Calculations • Wind Initial – 41 m/s • 1/2mv^2 • Theoretical - .8405 J/s • Wind Area – 200 mL • Actual - .03623 J/s • Efficiency – 4.3%
Saving The Energy Crisis One Pringles Can At A Time You can’t exactly save the energy crisis with a Pringles can, but it is a cool idea.
