[[File:ForcesOnVAWTairfoil.JPG|border|thumb|Vector diagram of the aerodynamic forces acting on a VAWT airfoil. Here U is the freestream velocity, ω is the angular velocity of the turbine, R is the turbine radius, Urel is the relative freestream velocity as seen by the turbine blade, and Ft(lift) and Ft(drag) are the tangential components of the lift and drag forces, i.e., Flift and Fdrag, respectively.<ref>Araya, D.

### Meeting at Farm - Agenda
- where does everyone's interest lie?
- go over the system diagram and questions
- what are our resources? Whom do you know?
- look at to-dos
- find a meeting time
- assign rough groups and projects
### To-Dos
- find a weekly meeting time
- connect wind direction meter to pole
- which type of wind turbine should we prototype?
- CAD our house and run fluids analysis
- assign projects to people
- timeline
### Equipment manuals
