Project Overview
Our wind project focused on designing and building a wind turbine that could generate the highest amount of electrical energy. We tested different blade shapes, angles, and materials to improve efficiency and recorded voltage data to measure performance. Through teamwork and problem-solving, we learned how renewable wind energy can be a clean and sustainable power source for the future.
