i am doing a project for my highschool about windmills, and i was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas for different types of windmills to build. i have to build models tho, and the modles have to be fairly small, so i can measure the power output on a DC motor. if anyone can help, i'll greatly appreciate it. you can email me at scorpio.twin@hotmail.com
thanks.

Hi Elyn,
Another place to look for design ideas is the KidWind Project. They have great design projects that are good ways to show how different models and blade sytles impact power output. Mor information on KidWind here: http://www.kidwind.org/

Good luck!
