Project Overview
We are four 5th graders that built a wind turbine blades out of cardboard to catch the wind to spin and create electricity. After our classmates experimented with different blade shapes and pitches, we chose our blades to make it as powerful as possible. We added gears with a ratio of 64 to 8 to help.
