Page1/3 Final Presentation


Great job everyone! I also want to say thanks for all the hard work Joanna and Nick! You guys are great to work with and I wish you guys the best in the future! I hope you both learned a lot, just like I did. This may be the last update we have unless one day we pick up the project again and begin phase 2! Till then, stay H2WHOA! -Gustavo Bermudez


P.S. Also want to give a special shout out to the three great professors we had this quarter (Professor Arens, Professor Chen, Professor Jipson)! We would not be able to accomplish what we did without them! Hopefully one day some of us can come back and finish what we started and continue with our goal.

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.
