The goal is to develop an optimized wind turbine prototype to generate electrical power.
The prototype’s size, pitch, shape and insertion depth were all considered in order to optimize for minimum air resistance and maximum power generation from a typical heating, ventilation and air conditioning duct air stream with a velocity of 750-1000 feet per minute.
Maximum power generation was accomplished by modifying the blade design, adding a more efficient generator, and optimizing the system as a whole.
