Ultimate Blade Design - Wind Turbine
| Division: | Health Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Simcoe County | | City: | Thornton, ON | | School: | | | Abstract: | This project studied the effectiveness of two blade design variables (length and overlap) on a Savonius wind turbine. The efficiency of the blade designs was quantified by measuring the generated electrical current using a voltmeter. Longer blades and a 30% overlap were found to be more efficient. |
