Measuring Power Through MatLab
Best Wind Turbine Design
Our goal for this wind turbine project is to generate electricity from kinetic wind energy and then to track it with the use of a website.

Measuring Power Through MatLab
Best Wind Turbine Design
To measure power coming from the turbine we used a resistor and Arduino board hooked to our MatLab program. This Matlab program took in data from the windmill and gave us the power.
| Resistance | Power |
|---|---|
| 10 Ohms | 0.0161 W |
| 30 Ohms | 0.0046 W |
| 51 Ohms | 0.0033 W |
| 100 Ohms | 0.0020 W |
