Build a Wind-Powered Generator

The Wind Powered Generator Project is the first in a series of maker projects that we’re planning on completing and displaying at the Seattle Mini Maker Faire this summer. We’re using salvaged metal parts, an old stop sign and a donated treadmill to build the project. The plan is to use a heavy duty tent frame to support the structure and make it portable for temporary and emergency setup in a variety of locations. I’m anxious to see how much power if any it will create or if it will just wind up being a tall kinetic sculpture. If you’re also interested in participating in the project or just curious come join us.
