For the Driving Range: We must switch the power off when transitioning between energy storage and energy usage; must the fan remain off for the remainder of the run? Can we collect energy and use it simultaneously?
A The fan must be turned off when switching from energy harvesting to energy use. We specifically require the fan be turned off so teams design a puttbot that will STORE the energy and not rely on the fan to maintain its motion or energy flow. Q General Question: Are the wind generator fans placed on the ground or raised a 3-4 inches above the surface? A raised fan increases the volume of wind a turbine can capture and harvest. This extra volume of wind is lost to the ground when the fan is placed directly on the ground. A The fans will be placed on the ground. Think of it as an opportunity to be creative about harvesting the wind energy.
