- 1. Wind Energy Team Andalis| Ang| Arcilla| Begonia Progress Report – 11/10/09
- 2. Constructed New Prototype Explored Different Characteristics of the New Prototype Turbine Speed Experiment Prototype Dimensions Photo Sensor Experiment Current Measurement Google Site Will be available within the week Progress
- 3. AIMS Find the speed at which the turbine will turn Find at what distance will the prototype be from the source, 3D Desk Fan characterizing the turbine speed as the prototype is affected by a controlled wind source Horizontal Arrangement Vertical Arrangement Turbine Speed Experiment
- 4. DATA Turbine Speed Experiment
- 5. For Cylinder Fan: Height = 20.5 cm Height from Bottom to middle = 10.5 cm Diameter = 16.3 cm Thickness of Fan Divisions = 0.2 cm Height of Each Division = 9.5 cm 36 Divisions equally spaced. For Top Wood: Width = 24.5 cm Length = 20.4 cm Thickness = 1.85 cm For Side Wood: Width = 20.6 cm Height = 17.3 cm Thickness = 4.2 cm Prototype Dimensions
- 6. LDR Sensor LDR -Light Dependent Resistors that are very useful in light/dark sensors. Typical resistances (at dark surrounding environment) ranges up to a 1 Mega Ohm extreme but drops dramatically almost instantaneously after being illuminated. LDR Values Obtained Ambient Light Resistance Value (F325 Room Light)= 6.88k ohms Dark Light Resistance Value (By covering the upper optical sensor)= 244k ohms
- 8. Current Measurement The set up is done by connecting a 200 ohm resistance (load) in series with the Multi-Meter in order to make a suitable connection for the configuration. The experiment is done on both the motors available as connected in the prototype available.
