Week 17

Title : Horizontal Turbine

Objectives : To test the rotational of horizontal turbine

Contents : while i keep thinking about what to be used for my project, and what design should i made, i find a good component to be used as my blade.. i got this idea when i see my neighbor cleaned up his air-conditioner system.. i see a rotational blade inside it and i decided to go to the secondhand shop to get one for my project..
this turbine got a narrow gap between its blade and hopefully it can trapped air with full power.. but the most difficult task is to broke it down.. i need to unscrew all the screw but i got less equipment to do so.. therefore, i decided to go to the welding shop to borrow their equipment..

Results : after finished unscrew the parts, i got that turbine and this is how it looks like..

but, i got another task to do.. the base for the turbine need some alteration.. luckily i am at the welding shop, so i ask the worker to help me to alter it back.. and the worker also put a rod at the middle of the turbine to hold it.. thanks for helping me dude..

Conclusion : i think i will stick with this turbine and will make the turbine spin with ease in a slow wind.. please pray for me..
