Week 8

Selecting a Generator:


The initial design of the generator involved the use of a charge controller between the generator and the battery in order to maintain a slow charge (10amps or less). While considering how to make this combination as inexpensive as possible, the idea to use a hand-crank generator instead of a conventional generator was discussed. Instead of having to purchase a charge controller and a generator, a hand-crank generator could be utilized with a gearing design that could maintain a slow charge. The team is exploring ways to design this system.

Turbine Mount Design:


The turbine anchored into the ground (G.L: Ground Level).
