In this project, we designed and prototyped a portable and compact generator with versatile attachments. Partnered with another group, we formed the company "Energy Generation for Good". While they developed the copper spindle generator, we created the attachments to make the generator more versatile.
Our mission is to generate clean, affordable energy for everyday use. We hope to provide portable energy generation for campers, outdoorsmen, and people in natural disasters.
Our attachments allow the generator to be used in many different locations. We have attachments for solar, wind, water, and thermal energy generation. The generator generates energy when the axle with the magnets spins inside the copper wire. When the magnetic field changes, we can harness that power in the battery.
Above is the generator, wind turbine attachment, and solar panel.
At the end of the project, my group pitched our product to a panel of judges. We presented all of our attachments and how they worked with the generator, our mission statement, target market, and price points. It was a great way to close off the year.
