Re: Physical Science Lab
You want the blades to be as large as possible while fitting within the 30cm diameter circle. If you double the diameter of the circle by the blades, you will get 4 times as much power. Bigger blades=More power.diamondplatinum wrote:Well SOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! i happen 2 be VERY bored. AND thanx for the info. i really needed it... another question please?

Re: Physical Science Lab
i'm not even doing this event but i think Max size, this way there's more surface area where the wind will be pushing it, although making it larger will make it a but heavier.diamondplatinum wrote:Well SOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! i happen 2 be VERY bored.

Re: Physical Science Lab
If you're bored, then you could try attempting to figure out the problems you are asking us. Then you wouldn't be bored.diamondplatinum wrote:Well SOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! i happen 2 be VERY bored. AND thanx for the info. i really needed it... another question please?

Science Olympiad is a tribute to Murphey's Law. This has been proven experimentally.
And no, I'm not a guy...even though my sig says will robsinson. It's a reference to Lost in Space, an ancient sci fi TV show. And the robot is the character who always says the line.

I'm sorry. I've been having an extremely lousy day today and my temper was short.

Re: Physical Science Lab
I hate to give it away but bigger does NOT equal more power I got first at invitationals with 1600 millivolts on high only and my blade is 2.5 inches in diameter

Re: Physical Science Lab
I agree. Otherwise, the blades are bigger than the area of the air currents, if that makes any sense. That means that air won't be hitting all parts of the fan, which equals no turning.

Re: Physical Science Lab
Can someone tell me how to convert from volts to watts?
I searched some websites and I got V x A = W

Re: Physical Science Lab
Watts measure a rate of energy transfer. Volts measure energy per unit charge. So you can't turn Volts into watts, because they are completely different things.
