Materials

Working methods

1. We create the frame of the turbine by using scrap wood pieces
2. We cut the plastic bottles in 2 semi-circular blades
3. We connected the turbine axel with the wood lamina
4. We took 4 magnets from an old HDD, that would normally have been thrown away
5. We attached the magnets on the lower part of the inferior wood lamina
6. After that, we’ve made 8 induction coil from a plastic ring (the bottle neck) on which we reeled copper wire
7. We glued the coils on the wood platform, under the lower wood lamina
8. We connected the lamina, with the platform and the axel
9. We connected the wire from the coils one to another and with a LED.
10. We measured the voltage produced - about 8 V
11. We measured the frequency of the AC with an oscilloscope
