Wind Turbine

Last Semester, in Ms.Nguyen class we worked on wind turbines. First we watched several videos on wind turbines and how they work and function. Then we made a model of the turbin from paper. We had to first color the turbins to make it look neat and presentable. Next we cut all the parts out we needed to make the wind turbine.
Last but not least we had to configure and put together the wind turbin. Glueing and taping played a big part in making the paper wind turbin. It wasnt easy at all either, some parts would not stay on, other parts would not stay in place.For the most part the pieces would not work well with each other, so making the paper wind turbin was a big hassle. But in the end we finally got done with the turbin and tested it out to see how high the voltage got in the wind turbin.
I learned that wind turbins help make electricity. They are powed by the wind to move in a clock wise motion thus prouducing energy, that will be soon converted in electricty to help power up cities, home, etc.
