The final thesis is complete, almost 300 pages and 50,000 words from when we began this project it is now complete. We have all had a...

With the prototype parts created we have been able to assemble the prototype. The stages are shown in the images below. Once this was...

The electronic components of the turbine are key for safety and power production. The circuit diagram is shown below as is the purpose...

With the initial design done we have been testing all the components using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulations. This allows us to...

With our rough design of the final FPWT (flat-pack wind turbine) created we have moved on to testing the design using various methods of...

With the project well underway, we have finally be able to start ordering some of the materials and key items required for the prototype....

Research has recently been conducted on the different types of loading that will be present on the turbine. This can be considered for...

The basic final design of the turbine is shown below, with the main components labelled. This doesn't show everything but we are making...

The key to making sure that this project is successful is through tight scheduling and in depth planning. After having sat down and...

The team recently met with Ian Arbon of Gaia Wind and the IMechE. During this meeting we discussed the ideas we had for the project and...

The team went to the Royal High school in Edinburgh and gave a presentation to Douglas' physics class about engineering in general and...

The Flat Pack Wind Turbine project is being done in collaboration with Primary Engineer and a team from Glasgow Caledonian University....

For the entirety of the project, there will be a select group of us working closely to bring this concept to prototype. We thought that...
