Wind Turbine Design Planning
Understand the design challenge
A successful prototype should spin in a gentle breeze, stay upright, be safe to test and use materials that can be reused or recycled where practical.
- Electrical energy changes into wind energy, then into sound.
- Moving air turns the blades; the turbine can convert this movement into electrical energy.
- The blades create wind, which changes into stored food energy.
- Light energy turns the blades and disappears.
- The blades catch moving air and can turn freely.
- The base stays upright during testing.
- The prototype is safe to handle and uses materials thoughtfully.
- The turbine is as heavy as possible.
- The design uses the most parts available.
- A lightweight, stiff piece of recycled card
- A heavy metal plate
- A soft sponge that bends easily
- A large lump of modelling clay
- Blades
- Tower or support
- Small motor or generator
- Hold the turbine above the work surface
- Catch the moving air
- Can convert rotation into electrical energy
Plan and improve
Plan a prototype that could be made from simple makerspace materials. Think about how the blades, support and generator will work together.
