Design Competitions

Fun hands-on design work centered on creative problem-solving with inexpensive, limited materials.

Junior Design Competition - Wind Turbine

Task was to create a turbine that propels a napkin as far as possible.

Built one powered using stored elastic energy with a couple of my friends.

Achieved a very high RPM, and placed 4th out of 27 teams.

I helped out our team by creating a structural base to support all those pizzas, which we ate after.
