Design Your Turbine

Today, you will complete a redesign of your Sky Z Horizontal Wind Turbine. As you complete this redesign, you should establish what you have aleady learned and extend your learning to conquer new challenges. As you work, complete the steps of the engineering design process to document your process while also providing meaningful support to your final design. Here are some ideas to get your brainstorming started:

1. How efficient is the Sky Z turbine? Could you improve efficiency?

2. How does the Sky Z strike you aesthetically?

3. What are the pros and cons to the blade shape of the Sky Z turbine?

4. What is the overall weight of the design?

5. How does the design of the turbine hub affect the overall success of the turbine?
