  2. Electrical to Wind • Electrical • 120 V • .54 A • Joule’s Law: P=I*V • P= .54*120= 64.8W • E=Pt • E=64.8(10)= • 648 Joules • Wind • Wind formula- (d)()()(C) • Density of air=0.00012041 • Turbine diameter= .0762 • Velocity= 2.4 • Constant=.005 • (0.0012041)() (.005)= • .000483 J

  3. Wind to Potential Water Bottle • Formula- mgh • M= .105 Kg • H= 7 in or .1778 m • (.105)(9.8)(.1778)= .183 J Hammer • Formula- mgh • M= .195 Kg • H= .9906 m • (.195)(9.8)(.9906)= 1.893 J

  4. Potential to Kinetic Water Bottle • Kinetic =½ mv2 • M=.105 Kg • V=.1778/.94= .189 m/s • K=.5(.105)= .002 J Hammer • Formula= ½ (I) • I= 1/3m • W= • ½ (80.613) (3.342) • = 449.6 J

  5. Kinetic to Water • Water formula= mgh • .09 Kg • 7 inches or .1778 m • (.09)(9.8)(.1778)= • 0.157 J

  6. Water to Spring • Spring formula = ½ kx2 • X= .25 • K=.77592 • ½(.77592)(.25)2= • 0.1325721 J • Water = mgh • m=.09 Kg g: 9.8 • h= .1778 m • .09(9.8)(.1778)= • 0.1568196 J
