TURBINE (external factors affecting a product)

Study the role renewable energy can play for an engineering business. Efficiency, UK wind speed variation and the economics of wind power on pp. 46 - 50

Limited discussion of the environmental and societal impact on pp.3, 5, 15.

TURBINE (2D exemplar)

Orthographic projection of turbine blades and assembly.

Isometric drawing of turbine assembly.

Circuit diagram for turbine and a low power circuit it might power, e.g., LCD display or radio.

TURBINE (3D exemplar)

3D, rendered CAD model of turbine assembly.  Realistic blade profile would probably provide the complexity required at level 3 as it must be more than an extruded 2D shape.

Animated, rendered 3D CAD model of turbine assembly.

Presentation image of new turbine design in intended environment – possible with Solid Works.
