Simulation Online Wind Challenge

My turbine is a combination of aluminum and 3D printed material. It’s been welded and utilizes 3D constructed parts to support the base! The nacelle was constructed with PLA( 3D) material, and my generator was made with SCH 40 PVC pipe, bar magnets and more 3D material. My 3 blades were designed in White-Box and made from 3D printed material to and are perfectly symmetrical to each other with a twist of 33.50 degrees!

Our project was to see which number of blades would create the most energy. We test two, three, and four blades, with constants of pitch and resistance.

We decided that we were going to vary the pitch of our blades. This was in order to see which blade angle was the most efficient for generating power. We found that a lower pitch was best.

we decided that we are going to test our independent variable, the number of blades, vs. the dependent variable, power. We realized that the more blades on the hub, the more power it has.

This is a six-blade turbine, with curved blades. I built this out of chipboard and cardboard. I made it to test the changes in energy production by changing the number of blades.

Our project has wide angular blades. They are not that long, but they generate energy. The blades have a unique shape and angle that allows them to glide through the wind.

In our experiment we tested number of blades and power. Our best amount of blades is 6 and 3 also worked well. Our blades were very heavy so if we could go back we would make them less heavy.

We built a wind turbine and collected data changing the amount of blades. We used and measured how much energy we produced. We found out that 3 blades works the best.

We made a wind turbine rotor, and we were testing energy and blades.
This project required us to dig deeper into the understanding of how wind would hit the blades, and how we can react to different wind directions. This project has also allowed our group to understand how wind can create high amounts of energy.

We’re Revenge of the Soup! We have a direct drive homemade axial flux generator, an RC helicopter rotor for easy blade angle adjustment, and electrical boxes for our turbine to perform as best it can. We hope to compete in the Collegiate Wind Competition next year, when we’re high school seniors.

The blade profile of my design can yield nearly 800 kilowatt hours annually! The design, in fact, helped my team score 2 more points in the actual competition.

Our wind turbine Gustavo is 10 inches long, with blades with perimeters of 25 inches. We decided to test our independent variable, number of blades (2, 3, and 4) to get our dependent variable, energy in joules.

Our turbine is made with cardboard and glued through hot glue and wooden sticks. It employs a pitch of 30 on each blade and is thoughtfully cut out with a rounded top. There are 6 blades in total, each symmetrical with each other.

We experimented measuring the amount of energy produced while changing the number of blades. We learned that four blades is most beneficial to making the most energy.

In our KidWind wind turbine design we worked through adversity to tweak our project depending on the obstacles we went through. Our independent variable was pitch and our dependent variable was energy, this mattered because it would affect the rest of our project. Pitch plays a big part in the efficiency of a wind turbine because adjusting the pitch would effect the energy produced.

In the Wind turbine KidKind project me and my partner created wind turbine blades. We then tested different pitches on our blades. After that we recorded our data and graphed it.

The independent variable of this experiment is the pitch. The dependent variable is the power. We tried 10, 20, and 30 degrees.

we decided that we are going to test our independent variable, the number of blades, vs. the dependent variable, power. We realized that the more blades on the hub, the more power it has.
