E1.03 - Wind Vortex Generator
A Wind Turbine that produces power without blades
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineer, Dr. Rich Compeau
Student Team: Kayla Adderley, Ryan Fassnidge, Skylar Roath, Aaron Holley
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Rich Compeau
Wind Vortex generator is a project that’s goal is to produce power. The project converts vibrational motion produced by the wind into electrical energy. The project will then proceed to store the energy generated into a battery which can support charging accessories compatible with USB 3. Alternatively, to the traditional windmill (rotational motion) style generators, the Wind Vortex generator implements a rocking motion. The benefit of the rocking motion compared to the rotational motion, is the minimal risk to wildlife and a more ergonomic design compatible in more locations.
