• Mission Overview – Measure lateral wind speeds at different
altitudes
Design
Testing
Wind Tunnel
Ice test temperature
Inside temp
Outside temp
Whip test
Drop test
Staircase Test
• Wind speed will reach a max at Jet stream• Between 4 and 8 miles high• 150-300 mph
• Altimeter of bike computer will not function properly • speed of ascent and maximum altitude
• Right before burst wind will measure at or close to 0 mph.
Expected Results
• Ability of bike computer to work in cold temperatures and at high altitudes
• Structural integrity of anemometer blades
Biggest Worries
Mission Statement: Find an optimal altitude for wind power generation
Mission Objective: Record data on wind velocity that we can analyze and interpret
LEVEL 0: We will use a bike computer to record wind velocities with an anemometer we will make, we will also make sure its
under 850 grams
Level 1.1: Internal data storage for the bike computer1.2: Make sure the heater works properly
1.3: No anemometer interference with string tube
Level 2.1: Bike computers internal power is enough for entire flight2.2: The heater works and has enough power for the entire mission
2.3 Light weight cage for small impact protection of anemometer
