Project Overview

In our KidWind wind turbine design we worked through adversity to tweak our project depending on the obstacles we went through. Our independent variable was pitch and our dependent variable was energy, this mattered because it would affect the rest of our project. Pitch plays a big part in the efficiency of a wind turbine because adjusting the pitch would effect the energy produced.
