Progress Report – 11/10/09

1.  Constructed New Prototype

2.  Explored Different Characteristics of the
New Prototype
  Turbine Speed Experiment
  Prototype Dimensions
  Photo Sensor Experiment
  Current Measurement
3.  Google Site
  Will be available within the week
  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
  DATA
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
  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.
