Me and Manuel constructed our wind turbine using several pieces of PVC pipe, and well as a plastic dustpan and the magnets and copper wire that were used to make the generator. What we did was that we used the PVC pipe to make the housing of the wind turbine, and cut the dustpan into a pinwheel design, in order to catch the wind more effectively. Inside the housing, we attached four coils of wire on the interior of the pipe, and to the turbine shaft we attacked four magnets. As the turbine spun, the magnets would spin over the coils, generating electricity.
