Wind Turbine Design Planning
🔧 Part 1: Design Criteria & Energy Transformation
1. What is the main purpose of a wind turbine?
To make noise in the wind
To transform wind energy into electrical energy
To block the wind
To measure wind speed
2. Which design criteria are important for a wind turbine? (Select all that apply)
Efficiency in capturing wind
Durability and strength
Safety for users
Use of sustainable materials
Heaviest possible weight
3. Complete the energy transformation sequence for a wind turbine:
Wind __________ energy → blade rotation → __________ energy → __________ energy
4. Why is it important to use lightweight materials for wind turbine blades?
They are cheaper to buy
They turn more easily in the wind
They look better
They make more noise
📝 Part 2: Design Planning
5. Draw and label your wind turbine design in the box below. Include arrows showing energy transformation.
6. Explain why you chose this blade shape and number of blades for your design:
7. List 5 materials you will need to build your wind turbine prototype:
1. _________________________
2. _________________________
3. _________________________
4. _________________________
5. _________________________
8. Which of your chosen materials are sustainable or recyclable? Explain why this is important.
✅ Part 3: Design Checklist
9. Check off each design criteria your wind turbine meets:
Captures wind effectively with suitable blade design
Uses appropriate and sustainable materials
Shows clear energy transformation from wind to electrical
Design is safe and practical to build
Materials list is complete and realistic
10. What is one improvement you could make to your design to make it more efficient?
