Turbines — It’s a Wind Win
| Challenge: | Energy | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Southeast Alberta | | City: | Foremost, AB | | School: | Foremost School | | Abstract: | Wind is a vital free resource we need to take advantage of. I tested a wind turbine model to see what blade angle produces the most electricity. The benefit is once the best angle for a windspeed is known it can be applied on any scale. This can help people in remote or underdeveloped countries maximize their turbine electrical output in a financially sustainable way. |
