Windmill Efficiency

CSEF · 2006 Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics

Mark A. Severy · El Cerrito Senior High School, El Cerrito

Overview

Objectives/Goals To see how to make my wind mill most efficient Methods/Materials I tested different blade angles and different angles of the wind input. Results 20 degree blade angle at a head on wind was most effient. Conclusions/Discussion The smallest angle would be most efficient as long as it can overcome the force of friction.

Summary statement

I tested the angle of wind and angle of the blade on my windmill to see which was most efficiant.
