Building our creation

Here are a few pictures of our construction.









Besides wooden dowels, our windmill uses sheet metal blades and two brightly colored hula-hoops as a base. It is held up by a rickety frame and it spins on two screws, one on the bottom as a pivot point and one at the top for support.



The DC motor is attached to the frame so that any difficulties that the windmill itself will have wont be a problem. The motor is spun by a belt that's attached to the center dowel.
