  1. Wind Generator By: Jonathan Edwards, Mike Hawkins, Josiah Oduor, David Winter

  2. Initial Model and Design Magnet Rotor blades Preliminary Design Gears

  3. Mechanical Aspects • Four fan blades at 45° angle • 1.6 to 1 gear ratio • Neodymium magnet • 30 gauge magnet wire

  4. Construction issues: • Basic design layout • Stability of the Fan • Reducing the friction • A more efficient generator than our test generator

  5. Project Expenses • $8.50- 30 gauge enamel coated wire • $9.00- Neodymium magnet • $15.00 – Rotor Blades • $5.00 – Nuts and botls • $7.00 – Wood • $8.50- 30 gauge enamel coated wire • $9.00- Neodymium magnet • $15.00 – Rotor Blades • $5.00 – Nuts and botls • $7.00 – Wood • $8.50- 30 gauge enamel coated wire • $9.00- Neodymium magnet • $15.00 – Rotor Blades • $5.00 – Nuts and botls • $7.00 – Wood • $8.50- 30 gauge enamel coated wire • $9.00- Neodymium magnet • $15.00 – Rotor Blades • $5.00 – Nuts and botls • $7.00 – Wood • $8.50- 30 gauge enamel coated wire • $9.00- Neodymium magnet • $15.00 – Rotor Blades • $5.00 – Nuts and botls • $7.00 – Wood $42.50 – Total $42.50 – Total $42.50 – Total $42.50 – Total $42.50 – Total

  6. Calculations Wind Power (supplied) 49.0 Joules Wind Power (harnessed) 6.51 Joules Efficiency Supplied Harnessed = 13.3 %

  7. Possible Improvements • Increase amount of wire coiled • Increase the wire gauge • Increase magnetic field • Make higher gear ratio • Reduce friction • Use nonmagnetic materials for housing of magnet

  8. Conclusion Despite construction issues we were able to produce a wind generator that successfully met the guidelines.
