The 2012 National Engineering Week Design Challenge was to Design and build a propeller from the given material inside a kit, assemble a gearbox with 42:1 gear ratio with a DC motor and attach the propeller to the gearbox shaft to generate electricity by placing the unit in the provided wind source. Students were informed about the application of Wind Turbines and their role in generating green energy in our society today. The concept of ‘Lift Force on Wind Turbines’ was provided to them in a lecture format with few slides on the main projector before engaging them into the design challenge activities. A LEGO style Wind Turbine model was placed on display for students to see the concept of Wind Turbine power generators.
