Featured Engineering and Coding Experiments

Solar Panel Output: Effect of Angle

Have you ever seen solar panels on a house or a building? Do you remember how they were positioned? Were they lying horizontally? Standing vertically? Set at an angle? Why do you think they are installed in such a way?

In this experiment, you will use your previous experience with solar panels and data-collection equipment to develop a plan to explore the variable of angle and its affect on power output.

Wind Turbine Output: The Effect of Load

A load is a device that uses electricity to do work or perform a job when connected to a circuit. A light bulb is an example of a load. If a light bulb is connected to the wind turbine, the electricity generated by the generator can do the work of lighting the light bulb.

In this experiment, you will experiment to find the optimal resistance for the generator in your wind turbine.
