Abstract:The purpose of my project is to lower pollution using less money, space and time. To do this I made a wind turbine with 2 generators instead of a regular 1 generator turbine. I tested the voltage with 2 generators and then with 1 generator. My hypothesis was correct! It generated twice the electricity. I think this innovation will help the world stay green.
