  1. The Spinner Blake Dunaway, Rafael Byron, Dmitri Falkner, Trevor Jackson

  2. Design: The Body • Body consists various woods • Super glue for binding • Thumb tacks for spacing • Metals washers and nuts for positioning of arm

  3. Design: The Power Source • 36 gauge magnetic coated copper wire • Four ceramic magnets • One plastic fan blade

  4. Rationale: Blunders and Bad Luck • Misplaced and Mangled Magnets • Opposites attract • Bogus setups • Reverse motor • Separate loops • Faulty wiring

  5. Rationale: Salvaging the Ship • Thick PVC • Became thin wood • Multiple rolls of wire • One large spool • Heavy Fan arm • Replaced with thin metal rod • Two small magnets • Four Washing Machine Magnets

  6. Performance Results • Hand power yielded 3 volts • Wind power yielded twice the velocity and increasing current • Never lighted the bulb during testing!?

  7. Efficiency

  8. Recommendations and Conclusions • Begin sooner • Last minute last ditch efforts • Better Communication • Difficulties getting together and accomplishing goals • Find a way to maximize efficiency • Something was hindering the conductivity of the machine (resistance, distance between magnets and coil, ect.) • Stay Simple • Over complicated designs wasted valuable time
