Project Overview
Hi, we are The Girls Who Harnessed the Wind and have been doing kidwind together for three years, but we have known each other for around 9 years. This year, our turbine has a gear ratio of 1:32 with 3D printed gears, and has triangular shaped blades that are 18.5 in long and 8.75 in wide. We started Kidwind because our school is green, so they started the program a while ago, and because we are friends, we joined.
