Notes - Wind Turbine ISR-G (view source)

These are notes for my wind turbine independent study with Jeff Dusek.
### 9/17/2020 - Wind Profiles
__What I did__:
- I measured wind speeds throughout the week. At a height of 4 m, the wind speeds vary around 0-4 mph. We had gust of up to 10-15 mph. However, wind speeds seem to be quite low. From talking to a nearby farmer I learned that wind speeds increase during the months November - January.
- I completed the first two weeks on Coursera, but I didn't take the quizzes due to limited time
- We have been working on a mount for the five solar panels. We will most likely build a solar-sail that rotates around its middle axis. Its angle of rotation can be manually adjusted for winter and summer times. We will have to dig at least four post holes to keep the construction sturdy during heavy storms.
__To Do__:
- mount anemometer higher up in the trees
- look into turbine tree mounting techniques
- interview farmer Ann again
- finish week three and take week 2 quizzes
- work when it doesn't rain
### 9/12/2020 - I began Coursera Course
