Background
The WaterPod Project [1] is a art exhibition and a leaning experience that will teach people about alternative solutions to environmental problems and sustainability. The barge will travel around the five burrows in New York harbor with a group of artists living aboard it. The barge will attempt to be completely self sufficient and will stop and each of the five burrows for a period of about two weeks and let people on board to lean about what the barge has to teach people.
Team MSB was a group created by the Engr 215- Intro to Design class at Humboldt State University to create a structure for the WaterPod project. Team MSb decided on building a wind turbine for the barge to harness the power of the wind. Team MSB consists of members Mario Barajas, Becca Russell, and Sam Speet.
Abstract
With the increase in today’s population, the WaterPod set out to find an innovative way to use the least amount of resources. The WaterPod is a group of artist who plan to live on a barge with the hope o being completely self-sustained for 6 months. The barge is planning to depart on May 20th and will travel around the 5 burrows in New York teaching about alternative solutions to environmentally harmful lifestyles and sustainability. Humboldt State University Engineering 215 Intro to Design class was contacted to design some of the structures for the artists that live aboard the barge. Team MSB is a team made by the Intro to Design Class to create a wind turbine that would harness the renewable power of the wind and turn it into energy and help to contribute to the energy needs of the barge. The final design was the WindPod Turbine which is a vertical access wind turbine that uses the power of the wind coming from any direction to create energy.
