DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF THE WIND MILL

INTRODUCTION

The basic idea behind the idea of our project is to design a simple, energy-converting windmill that cantake incoming wind energy and convert it to electrical energy. Our goal was to get the device to put out enoughelectric volts to light a small light bulb. The device was to be made from readily available materials to minimizecosts and if money was to be spent on the project, we were given a forty dollar cap. We were encouraged to usereadily available materials to save costs and completely build the windmill out of scratch and minimize the timespent as much as possible.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

The broad objectives of W!"#$!%%& is to create a safe environment which is conclusive to achievingthe best possible education'training programmed meeting social and pre-employment needs of those in our community with mild'moderate intellectual disabilities. !t is the unit(s ongoing intention to achieve the followingterminal objectives.

). To keep pace with new ideas and new ways of improving the *uality of life for those engaged on the project.

+. The provision of a purposeful and worthwhile training programmed, which focuses on the personal and pragmatic needs of the individual, in particular those with special needs.

. To tease out latent skills and develop new ones, to provide an imaginative work environment.

#. To play a positive role and respond to the needs for self advocacy and the preparation of work in the openmarket.

. To make a contribution to an ever changing society.

BRIEF METHODOLOGYThe design process for out windmill was a tedious task. Our first order of business was to come up with

a general concept design that was simple and cheap but still produce the re*uired amount of energy to light the bulb.We first came up with a design for the generator of the windmill and we decided to wrap insulated copper wirearound a piece of / pipe accumulating as many coils as possible. We then considered to different types of thewindmills a horizontal pin windmill and a vertical pin windmill. We decided to go with the horizontal pin because itwas fairly easily and was not projected to take very long to build. 0o we drew up our plans and went to work onconstruction. 1e only kind of efficiency that can really be calculated with our project is the theoretical energy. 2singthe e*uations in class to calculate power and energy of our windmill, the theoretical power we got was about .3345watts. )lso using the energy e*uation we found a predicted energy output of .3356 joules. The combination of thesetwo values in the efficiency e*uation we found an estimated two percent efficiency. This is a good value to have

because most actual windmill(s only run about 738 efficient. We using the software of pro-e for design and ansysfor analysis
