After a very entertaining semester we are almost with our classes and hence our time together; but , before everything is over we have one last chance to get together into groups and develop a fun and educative experiment that is related to all the material that we have covered. With this being said we have come to the following concepts that we want cover: wind turbines; power efficiency and electricity generation. This is what we have in mind for our experiment: We will like to test the different types of blades and determine that will be the most efficient for electricity and power generation; we will also want to determine the distance (which influences the speed of the wind) that will produce the largest amount of electricity; enough to light up a couple of LED’s; and finally we will like to combine what we discovered previously and use it to light up as many LED’s as possible.
We will like to meet again and perform this experiment a couple of time so we can make sure everything will work correctly and try to solve any possible errors that we may encounter. We will keep you posted with any updates on this experiment and hopefully we will not end up like this poor girl
