micro windmills

This article is about how a guy named Jung-chih chiao and his creation of something that's really small called the wind turbine. He is figuring out how to make a ultra-cute micro windmills that may soon charge your devices. Since it would be such a difficult task to carry around humongous windmills all day he has come up with an idea to making very little windmills, so that way you can take it anywhere you want to go. The win mill measure 1.8 millimeters at their smallest point. Think what their smallest point will be! They are so small that they say that ten of them could fit on a grain of rice that's really small. Each wind turbine comprises of a three bladed 1.8 millimeter diameter device that is mounted on a 2 millimeter tall tower. although it's small and 100 microns thick it is still durable to hold extremely strong winds. This is possible because it is made out of a extremely flexible and durable nickle called alloy.

  • It was very hard when we were harnessing wind energy to do the same as solar energy, but we still did it. 
  • We contemplated the puppies to make sure they didn't look sick or hurt first then we took them home. 
  • It was very arduous to paint the whole house with just three small paintbrushes. 
  • We went to Arlington over the winter. 
  • My mom had the new one but my grandma had the prototype.
  • This machine is called a wind turbine to measure the wind.
  • The rotating member of a rotating machine is a rotor. 
  • The machine was one million microns thick.
  • My dog was able to whist hand the 50 mph wind.
  • The watch was so durable that we had it for ten years straight. 
  • The coin was made up of alloy.
  • We used semiconductors to exam what the difference was between them, conductors, and insulators. 
  • The bakery has a new bacon wafer on sale now.
  • My dad has alot of patents when he goes to work. 
  • He made sure to assert when he was about to let his client get arrested. 
  • The teacher made us all brainstorm what our rough draft was going to be about.
