turbine
Build the turbine with used hard drive magnets
The no-load voltage will be three times the
Picoturbine
The turbine will be weather proof
Project ready for testing by Thanksgiving

Competitive Analysis
Strengths
Weaknesses
Team-1
Balanced skill set , good math
skills, great idea people
Getting everyone to a meeting
Team-2
Seems like a smart team
Will build a HAWT
Seems disorganized
Team-3
Good team sprit
Good skill set
No obvious weaknesses
Team-4
Good ideas but secretive about
their plans
Have not been using Engineering
Journals
Technology Features
 Moving Permanent magnets
 No commutate needed

Current Status
 High-level overview of progress against schedule
 On-track in what areas
 Behind in what areas
 Ahead in what areas
 Unexpected delays or issues
 Wire for new coils are delayed
