The wind group spent five days installing a wind turbine at Grand Fond Elementary School in Dominica. |
When we arrived at the site, we were perplexed to find that the Ipack had gone missing!
|
Where could the Ipak have gone?...
We came to the conclusion that it was stolen and the recorded wind speeds from the past year were lost forever. |
WIRING THE TURBINE TO THE SCHOOL
|
Setting up the resistors |
Building a battery box! |
We ran 16mm wire into the school, where we connected the wires from the turbine to the charge controller. We connected the charge controller to 2 resistors wired in parallel, and to four 6 Volt batteries in series parallel. |
