So it has been a while since my last post and I need to give an update...

Joanna, Gustavo, and I have been working on making our final model for our presentations possible.

I am working on the turbine and making it a working lighting system for presentations.
Gustavo is working on making the canopy, he has already sent the model into the shop to get it laser cut
Last but certainly not least, Joanna is busy trying to get our final poster together.


I have gotten almost all of my materials I need to make my turbine. The only thing I am waiting on is trying to straighten out a piece of vinyl tubing so that I am able to have a see through casing around my wire, as in my proposed design.

Another update on the turbine is I am debating on whether too have 2 or 3 loops of wire. To try and give me maximum current to light up my led. 3 loops will allow a 120 degree out of phase loop that will make it possible to have current at al times.

Hopefully I can have a somewhat prototype on friday to show everyone.
