Wind Turbine From Plastic Bottles

To understand how a wind turbine works, one can build a simple wind turbine from plastic bottles. To do so requires a simple 1 or 2 liter plastic bottle, a compact disc and a small dynamo. Typically these wind turbines operate effectively at low wind speeds and can have a rotational speed of 500 rpm.

The wind turbine from plastic bottles can be used to demonstrate the relationship between open circuit voltage and wind speed. It is also capable of demonstrating how varying the size, shape and number of turbine blades can affect power output from the device.

Of course, a wind turbine from plastic bottles is probably not the technology you want to provide electricity for your house. Nevertheless, these can be a very worthwhile science project, or even something to build out of curiosity so you can see how the technology of wind turbines works.
