Savonius Wind Turbine Science Fair Project

Savonius VAWT wind turbine capable of producing 72vdc on the kitchen table! 9 year old daughter wanted to do a wind turbine for her science fair and here it is. She helped build it and did 100% of the science, but could not convince the judges in 1 minute that she knew all the science and functions and that she had put over 80 hours into it so, she did not win....bummer....

theres no way your 9 yr old daughter did all that

[dbvandy]

And you know this how? I am a EE and Technical instructor. I did not say that she did all of this on her own. However, she 100% of the science and assisted in the construction. she has over 85 hours invested in construction and experiments. The project was her idea, her desire, her execution. The turbine was home-built in order to understand what it takes to construct a device, however, the science is no different than if she bought one at the dicovery store and preformed the experiments.

By "nine-year-old girl", you mean "cheating father who built entire project", right?

Around 3:45 you even say "the hair dryer that I used", didn't you mean "she"?

[Slipshot007]

Yeah... she had alot of fun doing it. How come your daughter was no where to be seen in this video. You must be real proud of yourself.... I mean her.

3rd graders know all about 3 phase AC power...right...and that's why she had you make this video for her...LOL!

It would be great if you had your daughter make a video explaining what she learned from making this project. Then, all these people might back off about telling you how bad it is that you made it for her.
