Wind Turbine Design Project for STEM Education, Exercises of Engineering
This document details a wind turbine design project aimed at introducing students to engineering principles. The project involves the creation of a prototype, an oral presentation, and a technical report. The wind turbine design demonstrates the conservation of energy principle (renewable energy) and shows real-life applications of this principle. The design is lightweight, affordable, and robust enough to endure some damage. The turbine is expected to catch the wind produced by a hair dryer or strong wind and turn on an led in the house attached to the turbine, signifying the transfer of wind to mechanical to electricity.

Important Design Requirements
โ The idea must contain a math, science, or engineering principle.
โ The concept should be suitable for students in the Pk-12 range
financially (25 to 50 dollars) and academically.
Alternative Concepts Not Selected
1) Basic Electric Circuit:
โ Very Common and Repeated
Idea.
โ Does not show exactly the
application of the principle.
โ Some additions was added
to achieve a more creative
design.
Final Concept
Wind Turbine:
โ Demonstrates the conservation of energy principle (renewable energy).
โ Wind Energy Is Converted to electrical energy
โ Shows real-life applications of this principle
โ Consists of consumable materials (Less Price)
How Does It Work? โ Strong wind hits the blade to turn
โ Blade rotating with high speed โ Generate energy on the Direct Circuit Motor โ Energy Go through Electric Wire โ Black Toner Wire negative charge โ Red Toner Wire positive charge โ Connect Both side White Connector Cable โ Light bulb turn on
Close Up View
โ Dimension of the house; length 12 cm, width 6 cm, height 6 cm. โ Length on the wire is 32 cm, white cable connector is 2cm. โ Cardboard tube height is 15 cm. โ D.C. Motor diameter is 3 cm. โ Length for the blade of the fan is 5 cm.
