This project had as its inception an attempt to design and build fiberglass rotor blades. Since then the combined efforts of students and faculty from many engineering departments have produced a facility whose purpose is the study of wind and solar energy for useful purposes. The current Wind Furnace Model (WF-1) utilized a wind-driven electromechanical system to generate electrical energy. This energy is then dissipated through resistance …
