Small Wind Turbine
Small Wind Turbine
This was the final project for ENGIN 26, a course for 3D modeling and design. The goal was to design a wind tubine optimized for stiffness to weight ratio given certain loading conditions. Designin and FEA were both done with SolidWorks. Unfortunately, due to the semester being online, we weren't able to manufacture the actual design. The full report can be viewed to the right and some photos are shown below.

FEA results for deflection.

FEA results for stresses, used for factor of safety calculations.
