  3. Device Overview • This device is used to harness the kinetic energy of wind and transform it into electric energy • Household appliances and everyday materials • Total cost was about $15

  4. How it works • Old fan blade and bearing connected to magnet • Black cardboard box houses the magnet with 28 gauge copper wire to transfer the energy ultimately to the light bulb • Duct tape is amazing

  5. Calculations • P = 0.5 x rho x A x V² • A = π(.09 m)² • V = 6.71 m/s • Rho = 1.1 kg/m³ • Theoretical P in ≈ .63 Watts • 1.4 v/25x10‾³amps = .0209 W • (.0209 W/.63 W)x 100% ≈ 5.55 % efficient

  6. Problems with Design • Generating enough power • Losses due to friction • Magnet distance from wire • Finding a stable support for the apparatus • Balancing the magnet to allow a easy spin • Finding a way to support the fan blade

  7. Summary and Conclusions • Overall we developed good strategy and teamwork • We found new and interesting methods of design to accomplish the required tasks • We were successful in harnessing kinetic energy and converting it into electrical power • Time management and communication
