Sun Shines on Wind Power
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Renfrew County | | City: | Deep River, ON | | School: | Mackenzie H.S. | | Abstract: | My project studied a method of increasing energy production from a vertical axis windmill by incorporating solar panels onto the blade surface. Windmill-blade design and speed of rotation affected wind and solar energy production. Blade rotation was found to increase the combined power production from this novel design. |
