How to make a wind turbine model

How do you make a wind turbine?

If you want to build your own, pull an old vcr or dvd apart and remove the motor. Easily make your own blades with spoons and a water bottle lid. You don’t need a pvc pipe cutter, any saw will do. See our other designs of wind turbines and complete instructions. Measure 1”, and 5” on PVC Pipe. Cut at the 1” and 5” markings.

How does a wind turbine model work?

The wind turbine model will do work on a small weight by hauling it up from the ground to the top of the turbine. This will represent the energy output of a wind turbine. You will measure the output of each rotor design by how much weight it can haul—the rotor that hauls the most weight is the most efficient design. What are you waiting for?

How does a wind turbine generate electricity?

Wind power is collected using wind turbines —tall pole structures with a machine at the top that looks like a very large fan. Instead of blowing air, however, turbines catch the air. When the wind blows, it makes the blades of the fan, called rotors, spin around, which moves the turbine on the inside and generates electricity.

How do you make a wind turbine rotor?

Place your lower magnet rotor onto the studs. You can either make your upper and lower magnet rotors with a rotor plate, epoxy, and 2" by 1" by ½" neodymium magnets, or you can buy this part prefabricated as part of a wind turbine kit or from a wind turbine part manufacturer.

How do you make a wind turbine blade?

Easily make your own blades with spoons and a water bottle lid. You don’t need a pvc pipe cutter, any saw will do. See our other designs of wind turbines and complete instructions. Measure 1”, and 5” on PVC Pipe. Cut at the 1” and 5” markings. Now there are three pipes, a 1”, 5”, and a 6” pipe. Put the o-ring onto the front of the motor.

How to make a windmill?

You can easily make a windmill with these steps. Cut out two rectangles and paste them on top of each other like a cross shape. Easily make a body of a windmill with a hexagon and polygons extending down from the sides of the hexagon. Use a sharp object to make a hole in the middle of the cross section of the fan.
