9/29 Wind Energy Test

Fan was 7 ft. from prototype on flat ground.

Angle(degrees)     Fan Speed     Wind Speed (m/s)     Voltage (V)     Blade Speed (r/s)

60                        1                    1.6                            2.663              0.368
                            2                    1.8                            2.929              0.461
                            3                    3.1                            4.002              0.543

Windmill works at multiple angles although we tested the prototype facing straight at the fan.

We also measured the wind speeds in 5 different in 2 directions (N&S, E&W) locations in the parking lot using the anemometer.
