Wake up the Windmill
Division:Life Sciences
Category:Junior
Region:Frontenac, Lennox & Addington
City:Kingston, ON
School:Calvin Park P.S.
Abstract:This project studied formation of a wake behind a windmill and its effect on power loss at downstream windmills. Home-designed small-scale windmills were used in different grid arrangements and their voltage output was measured using a multi-meter. The wake effect was demonstrated, and the size of the wake was inferred. Power loss of up to 60% was observed as a result of the wake.
