1.9 volts on high and we did it by making a cd fan.

how do you get 1.9 volts
our max was like 450 micro volts or something

It all depends on the fan. Some fans can get up to 2 or 3 volts and some can only get max 1 volt with a good windmill, so its hard to compare (for instance you could get 1 volt on one fan and 2.5 on another with the same windmill)

okay but what are some of the effective blade designs to capture all of those volts
we used a four bladed laminated paper design
which was the best one we had in total it only got 800mv

what is a good blade design for this
:D :D :D

You understated yoyosciencekid23, especially since you were unable to test it with me, it was 479 on high and 288 on low power.

Oooh, big difference. :P

Best at PA was 800-something I think, so 1.9 volts would probably do very well at nats. :)

I dont know the specific bests at NY but they higher than 1000 im pretty sure, so I think 1.9 would do very well at Nats.
