Construction!

We met up on Monday and Wednesday of this week. The construction has officially begun, and we have not spent anymore money on materials. Putting together the turbine was a bit more difficult than expected. The hardest part so far was connecting the apparatus to the motor. Currently we are also trying to find something with a small voltage to test the turbine. The motor we have can produce about six volts, but the average energy-saving light bulb needs 120V to turn on, so we will look for either an incandescent or LED.
