Innovative Picoturbine Design Project Using Repurposed Hard Drive Magnets

The ENGR-1020 Wind Turbine Project aims to design and construct an improved Picoturbine utilizing hard drive magnets. Team members, skilled in electrical, civil, and computer engineering, will develop a weatherproof turbine with a no-load voltage three times greater than traditional designs. The project involves building a larger turbine from a purchased kit, including new wind coils, while ensuring vibration reduction and low coil resistance. The timeline includes key milestones leading to testing by Thanksgiving. Jerry Bernardini leads the project initially, ensuring team collaboration and innovation.
