Wind Turbine

The Physics behind a wind turbine:
A wind turbine works because there is a set of magnets connected to the propellers which is surrounded by a thick coil. This coil will magnetize with the magnets and cause them to turn An easy way to think of the way a wind turbine works is that it is the opposite of a fan: you use the wind to make electricity rather than using electricity to make wind. The wind will push the propellers around causing the magnets to spin and the wire will magnetized with the magnets and cause them to spin.

In order to build a turbine you must have the following.

1.) a tube to connect the propellors to the grand/ hold them up

2.) propellors (card board) to generate electricity 

3.) magnets used to cause propellors to spin and generate electricity 

4.) coil used to make the magnets spin/ generate velocity

What made our turbine so successful was the fact that we had a thick coil of wire and strong magnets. The tick wire induced more voltage thus creating more electricity. The wind is used because it is what causes the turbine to start spinning but the magnets are what cause the turbine to continue moving.
