Preliminary Design ReviewMarch 20, 2008
Last Week’s Action Items Complete CAD model
Add internal components to the base cylinder Show how the main shaft attaches to the system Display placement of guide lines which secure the wind
turbine to the ground Describe in detail the blade setup
Finalize the blade manufacturing method Analyze vacuum forming plastic
Have to create mold and it is potentially expensive Bending of sheet metal
Heavy and not easily broken down or carried
Current Status of ConceptStatus of Design
Beginning to manufacture the base unit, the blade mold, and start designing the electronics system
Focus on:
costweightsize
Next Week’s Action Items Shaft Assembly
Huth will attach bearings to the main shaft Arch will attach the gear to the main shaft Leon will assist in attaching load supports to keep shaft
in place CNC Plates for base unit
Fraser will generate CNC file for plates Toomey will generate CNC file for brackets Both will utilize the CNC end mill to fabricate
Begin Electronics work Noble will begin constructing the electronics layout
