Project Overview
We are ninth grade HS wind team looking to improve on out middle school KidWind turbine design. Our upgrades to our turbine include: sturdy table base, perfectly centered hub and using 3D printed airfoils instead of flat blades at 2024 VA State competition. After trial and error, we were able to find the perfect gear ratio 72:1.
