The Mary Brogan Museum of Arts and Sciences (MOAS) has decided to create a new set of exhibits to educate the public in energy and power generation. We were given the challenge of designing an exhibit that would educate the public about wind as an alternative energy source.

Our group has decided on a wind turbine demonstration to convey this concept. To create an interactive exhibit, the input wind energy will be created by the observer when a hand crank is used. The wind energy will then be converted into electrical energy by means of a wind turbine system. The electrical energy will then be used to power a sequential lighting system to represent an increase or decrease in supplied power. All links below are in Adobe PDF format.
