Wind energy depends on the blade length and turbine size. This experiment proves that wind carries mechanical energy which, can also be converted into electrical energy. This mechanical energy got converted into electricity with the help of a motor. When we place the pinwheel in front of a fan, it starts spinning which, is a form of mechanical energy. The wind power can also be measured by a digital multimeter. The amount of energy also depends on the size of the pinwheel. When placed in front of a more strong fan, the light bulb glows brighter and, it also confirmes that electricity is being generated from wind power. Take an insulated wire and connect the motor wires with the bulb.ħ. Try using masking tape for a better fit.Ħ. Take out the pinwheel and connect it to the motor shaft. Place this pinwheel in front of a fan and watch them spin.ĥ. Now, take a straight pin and pin all four blades into the eraser. Now, Fold and pin all the layers with each other with the help of staple pins.ģ. Cut the diagonal lines till you are 3/4 inch away from the center of the square.Ģ. Now, take a ruler and draw diagonal lines from one corner to another. Preparations- Take the cardstock paper and cut a 4 feet square. Material for the Project Experiment- Small electric motor, Cardstock paper, fan, Pencil with eraser, Straight pin, Ruler, insulated copper wire, 1.5-volt bulb, and bulb holder. Turbine blades and wind speed also play a significant part in this. The generator turns on and starts generating electricity. It also moves a drive shaft connected with the generator. Rotation of the blades turns the turbine. When wind touches the turbine blades, it starts rotating. A wind turbine converts wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical energy. Wind energy is a sustainable and renewable energy source and, it can generate electricity too. Sustainable energy sources are the need of the hour. Theory- To prove that a wind turbine generates mechanical energy and electrical energy. The objective of this project is to find how wind energy works? This experiment will help you to understand the basic understanding of how a wind turbine works. When the wind blows, it spins the blades around the rotor and, then it also rotates the generator. These five significant parts are base, nacelle, rotor, tower, and generator. A wind turbine has five significant parts.
