  1. Wind turbineforhurricane-prone regions Senior Design Team 12: Chase Bryant Alexandra Callich Jonathan Meyer-Senior Elliot Popper RayfordRahming Christian Scott

  2. Problem Statement Develop a conventional wind turbine capable of surviving hurricane-force wind conditions. Specifications • Capable of conventional turbine functionality • Capable of survival in hurricane force winds • Environmental-friendly • Economically feasible

  3. Our Design • Systems • Control System • Braking System Horizontal-Axis Turbine Foundation with Counterweight Wind Turbine

  4. Materials • All Parts Ordered! • Waiting on Shipment Anemometer Microcontroller Hydraulic Cylinder

  5. Located in Thomasville, GA. Southern Division focuses primarily on the Southeast Greg Orff – General Manager

  6. Setbacks • Steel Order • Turbine Blades Discontinued

  7. Structure

  8. Hydraulic System Cylinder Diameter = 1.5 inches Bore Diameter = 2.5 inches Pump and Motor Assembly Solenoid w/Remote Cord Set 1.4 GPM at 1,600 PSI 3 quart containment capacity

  9. Microcontroller Flow Chart

  10. Sustainable Engineered Solutions • Purchasing a trailer that will be Self Sustainable • FAMU-FSU COE is allocating land • Pursuing the possibilities on sharing land and joining our projects • Still exploring foundation options

  11. Expectations • Finding a location for permanent placement • Functional lowering mechanism • Power production • Estimated Completion Date: April 1, 2013 • Remainder of time for operating and testing the sytem
