We make small scale wind turbines:

With John Wolfe, Cameron Beversluis, and Miles Weinstein

Led a team that designed and built a device used for powering a wind turbine in conditions without wind. It needed to be compact, transportable, safe, and most importantly generate wind purely through energy supplied by kids. The eight foot tall fan was taken to multiple festivals and science fairs in the summer, and was exhibited at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.

Woven Wind is a project team that builds wind turbines and educates the public about renewable energy. Our wind turbines are installed at elementary schools, museums, and university buildings. In all of these locations, the team often needs to run a demonstration in windless conditions. Thus, I led a team that designed and built a device used for powering our organizations’ wind turbine in conditions without wind. It needed to be compact, transportable, safe, and most importantly generate wind purely through energy supplied by kids. Our eight foot tall fan was taken to multiple festivals and science fairs in the summer, and was exhibited at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.
