Show moreThe goals of this project are to analyze the wind resources in Chicago, verify the efficiency of a TurbodynamX wind turbine design, develop a business plan for TurbodynamX, Inc., and research feasibility for a wind farm at Iroquois Landing. These objectives were accomplished through the following tasks: Collect and analyze wind data from a monitoring system located at 87th Street and Lake Michigan, Collect and analyze wind and power data from a TurbodynamX prototype wind turbine once installed, Perform market research for Illinois and Wisconsin, Analyze market data and generate a marketing plan Collect information on and around Iroquois Landing

Show moreStudents will continue the work of previous IPRO teams to convert a Quicksilver MXII ultralight airplane to run on E85 fuel (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline). This is technically challenging because the plane uses a 2-stroke Rotax 503 engine, where the oil must be mixed in with the fuel. After the conversion, the plane will be flight-tested. In the mean time, the plane can be flown by students to enjoy the experience of flying a personal-type aircraft. In addition to the technical aspects, the project involves developing and maintaining relationships with sponsors, public relations, and a study of the potential for ethanol in the ultralight aircraft market. This project may eventually lead to the creation of a student organization responsible for maintaining and flying the ultralight aircraft.
