• Start of Project (Feb. 21st)

Gathered materials necessary for our first cardboard prototype.

Efficiently built a cardboard “replica” that was hand cranked.

  • Start of construction of the big model (Feb. 23rd)

Constructed a simple efficient gearbox (around 2:1 ratio)

Began the construction of the dynamo setup

  • Finish of Dynamo setup (Feb. 27)

Added supports and stabilizers for the dynamo setup areas

Attached LED to the dynamo (works well)

3D Printed first prototype of turbine (did not work because top and bottom were too thin (3mm)

  • Polished the build and printed more turbines (Mar. 1st)

Added a Rudolph the reindeer to make our project a bit more aesthetically pleasing

3D printed two more designs (one of which failed, due to the supports being broken due to gravity.)
