Engineering Challenge: Draw the turbine with blades attached, label the parts, and explain how wind creates motion!
Part 1
1 Draw the Turbine & Blades (Assembly Diagram)
Draw the stand, center hub, and 4 blades attached to the hub
Stand, Hub & 4 Blades Blueprint Draw Diagram Here
Drawing Checklist: 1 Stand (Base & Tower) • Rotor Hub • 4 Attached Blades • Wind Arrows
Part: Turbine Stand Qty: 1
Short Answer: What does the stand do?
Part: Rotor Hub Center
Short Answer: What is the job of the rotor hub?
Part: Rotor Blades Qty: 4
Short Answer: What do the blades do?
2 Kinetic Energy Explanation
Write 4–5 Complete Sentences
Question: How does moving air (wind) transfer kinetic energy to the turbine blades and cause them to rotate? Explain what happens to the blades and hub when the wind blows harder, and what happens when the wind stops.
