Water Wheels,
We made our first little turbine in class today, out of a paper cup and double-layered construction paper blades. I stuck the blades at equal distances around the rim of the of the cup. I oriented the slits that the blades fit in straight up and down on the cup. We did manage to make the cup spin by blowing on it. We are going to build some more designs over the weekend. I am going to focus on a couple of blade shapes and orienting the blades different ways to see how effective different designs are.
