Wind Power B/C

[MariaK]

I had the same problem.
Were yo able to find/ work the motor they said was in the wind turbine?

Do the rules specify how much can be in your binder(like 5 pages max., or as long as you can gat it to fit in the binder, etc.)? Thanks

While this is very easy to answer ("no"), the mere fact you are asking it hints that you haven't looked at a copy of the rules yourself. There are a lot of details contained in the rules and you really need to study them closely or else you are likely to end up doing very poorly or even being dq'd at the tournament.

I've never done a study event before so I didn't even know about this reference material until a couple weeks in, but I have the rules. But the rules say "All reference materials to be used during Part II of the competition must be secured in a 3-ring binder so that regardless of orientation none can fall out." and what the 5 topics are, but I was unable to find any part that said how much reference material. I asked my dad to look and see if he can find anything he said he didn't find anything either. If it does say, please tell me where. If not, it does mean I can bring as much as I want as long as it can fit in a binder? Thanks.

I'm not particularly familiar with Wind Power, but for most events (to the best of my knowledge), you can bring whatever you can fit in the binder; the rules usually say "a binder of any size," so you can bring a twelve-inch thick binder, if you can find one (although it's unlikely you'll need more than 3 inches for most events).

That's correct. General rule #1 applies (https://www.soinc.org/ethics_rules), which might be the 'rule' you are looking for. Any 3 ring binder, any size is allowed. Here's a pic a took several years ago of on that was far too big: http://gallery.scioly.org/displayimage. ... play_media

Correct, nor the yellow piece that touches on the front

Many thanks to both of you!

Where do people buy these binders anyway? The largest I've ever seen for sale is 5.5" (not that I really need them that big).

No kidding. And for Itz? Seriously, that would be more reasonable for Fossils.

You don't really need that much for Fossils; I use less than a hundred pages in mine.

Chalker (or anyone else that would like to chime in), we have been debating this idea for a while, but why is resistance is included in the circuit? Won't the turbine that spins the fastest ALWAYS produce the greatest output?
