Science / Physics project brainstorming.
« on: November 01, 2012, 09:51:49 pm »
Basically, I have to work on a physics project that would help my grade pretty well if I manage to do it good enough.
The object of this project is to create some sort of windmill that will stand in the middle of two tables. A fan will be blowing on it from the angle of my choosing, causing it to spin as fast as I can make it spin. This spinning is supposed to power some sort of mechanism I create to reel in a string that is hanging from the windmill with a 200 gram weight attached to it. The object of the challenge is to reel the weight in to the table's height from the ground.
Also, I cannot use pre-assembled parts.
Who wants to go ahead and brainstorm with me?
