Wind Turbine & Lithium-Ion Battery Build

Project Objective: Design and build a fully operational micro wind turbine for power generation.

This project investigates a range of topics, including battery development techniques, airfoil design, gear power transmission, rotating assemblies & joints and key concepts in electrical engineering. Turbine prototyping via hand milling and 3D printing for rapid iteration and testing.

Current Progress:

  • Battery fully built and tested

  • Turbine Blades designed

  • Power transmission system designed

  • Up next: Nacelle completion, tower mount & rotating joint
