Week 2

In Week 2 we split our group in half with one half focusing on the turbine design, and the other half focusing on the electrical circuitry and storage. The first 3-4 weeks of the term are dedicated to learning about the mechanical and electrical design of the turbine. None of our group members have had any experience with generating and storing electricity, so it is necessary for us to learn the fundamentals of electrical circuitry, generation, and methods of storage as well as the principles behind the mechanics of the turbine. 

Cyril used Creo to create a preliminary design of the turbine:
