For those students interested in engineering and environmental science, this wind turbine project from Yvon, contributor at Instructables, is sure to inspire some great project ideas!

Using the tutorial as a guide for creating miniature turbine models, students might explore how various design components effect voltage/electrical output.

For example;

  • Turbine size
  • Blade size/shape
  • Number of blades

Additionally, students might measure how wind speed, turbine location, etc. might effect the performance of the turbine!
