Innovative Energy Solution Using Everyday Materials: The Pringles Can Generator

Discover how our team of innovators—Matt Fasano, Greg Mulkey, Victor Smith, and Leslie Roberts—designed a unique energy generation system using a simple Pringles can. By combining materials like compact disks, copper wire, and magnets, we created a mechanism that converts wind energy into electrical energy. Our project tackles real-world challenges, focusing on efficiency calculations and the functional interplay between mechanical and electrical components. Join us on this creative journey to find a fun, educational way to engage with renewable energy.

  3. How We Made It • Pringles Can • 3 Compact Disk • 2 Wine Corks • Copper Wire • Plastic Bobbins • 8 Magnets • Paper Towel Holder • 2 Nails

  4. Mechanical Components • Spinning Pringles Can • Spinning Magnets • Rotating Nails • Stationary Paper Towel Holder • Connecting CD for Copper Coils • Linkage of Multiple Coils

  5. Electrical Components • Magnets of Alternating Poles Spin • Pass Over Multiple Coils • Alternating Magnet Poles Creates Alternating Current

  6. Testing Challenges • Collecting Materials • Wire Size • Magnet Pull and Gluing • Wiring • Structure Wobble

  7. Efficiency Calculations • Wind Initial – 41 m/s • 1/2mv^2 • Theoretical - .8405 J/s • Wind Area – 200 mL • Actual - .03623 J/s • Efficiency – 4.3%

  8. Saving The Energy Crisis One Pringles Can At A Time You can’t exactly save the energy crisis with a Pringles can, but it is a cool idea.
