How Does Wind Energy Affect Propellers

It was anticipated that the smaller blades will produce the most power because the shorter it is, the lighter the mass of the blade will be, therefore it will be easier for the wind to manipulate its movement. Wind Turbines are constructed to be proportionally large because it’s expected to capacitate above the Earth’s surface, where the wind is predicted to be more powerful. Since the blades in the experiment were all at the same level, and the air was pretty much controlled, the large rotors didn’t get a lot of power because the blades weight was heavier than the rest. This was expected due to the calculation that the mass of the rotors or propellers will be easier for the wind to manipulate as it is short and light. If an object like a rotor, is placed in the …show more content…
Kinetic, Wind, Mechanical , and Electrical energy are several types of energy that exist in this experiment. Wind energy was present as it was used as a resource to make the propellers move, the wind was blown toward the propellers, making them spin therefore transforming wind energy into mechanical. Mechanical energy was present because a fan is a machine that helped to generate the wind, when the wind was blown through the propellers, the gadgets inside transform the mechanical energy into electric. Electrical energy was also present because the contraption transformed the energy from kinetic to electrical. Kinetic energy is moving energy, the contraption was moving throughout this process, therefore it uses kinetic energy constantly. The actual results matched the expected results. Due to the weight of the small propellers, it made it easier for the wind to manipulate its movement, making it spin faster. This made it easier for the contraption to convert kinetic energy to electrical energy, this was evident in the results. The smallest blades produced 1.636 millivolts the most output energy in comparison to the other
