TEAM AERO-ELECTRIC

Aaron Jones, Ryan Prater, Tim Evans, Brian Paul

In the beginning…..

• Why we choose this design?– Reasonable

• Project was easy to build.

– Cost Effective• “GREEN” (recycled materials, cheap)

– Time• Approximately 10 hours for build time

– Criteria • Keep within requirements

“Some” Assembly Required!Design/Construction Issues

• Armature Size• How many magnets• Wire gauge, amount of wraps• Coil Seperation

Neo….What! Neodymium!

• Mechanical Aspects– Fan Blades– Armature Balance

• Electrical Aspects– Copper Wire– Neodymium
