The Design
o Wood Dowel Drive Shafto Balsa Wood Propellero Plexiglas generator housingo 4 Bar Magnetso 600 Ft enamel coated wireo Decorative Wooden Base
Mechanical Aspectso Single drive shafto Ball bearingso Fan blades
Electrical Aspects
o 4 magnets attached directly to drive traino 600 ft wire
o 4 separate spools connected in serieso Soldered together o Various gauges
Efficiency
P= ½(1.225 kg/m^3)*(.114m^3)*(9m/s)^3
P= 50.9 Watts
Theoretical
Actual
P=IV
P=(.180A)*(2.5Volts)
P= .45 Watts
Efficiency
.88 %
