Week 23

Title : too heavy and tall

Objectives : to adjust the length and weight of the blade

Contents : i had measure and test my blade, but unfortunately, it is too heavy and long.. i need to make some alteration.. the blade cannot be like this.. if it continue like this, my turbine will not rotate in low wind..

Title : testing again

Objectives : to test the final blade

Contents : after undergoing some cleaning process, i tested back my turbine to make sure that it can rotate.. and if not, i got enough time to adjust it back..

i try to make the turbine to stay at the bottom and the holder is at the top.. but the weight make it harder to turn with ease..

then i try to rotate it, make the holder to hold the whole turbine.. and it make some good results.. the turbine move faster than before..


Conclusion : i start developing the turbine based on new discovery today.. so i hope that there is no more changes to be made..
