Statement of the Problem
This research is mainly with the windmills
production of energy. These are the following
questions the researchers ought to answer.
1. Will all the windmills produce a large amount
of energy?
2. Did the blades affect the amount of energy
produced; what made you think so?
3. What windmill produced the largest amount of
energy; why did it produce the most?
Hypothesis
Windmills as indicated are reliable sources
of alternative energy. It is efficient for everyday
use. Windmills that were built will produce a
good amount of energy. This is because the
blades of the windmills involved reacted as the
turbines rotate. The windmills that were tested
also exhibited fast spinning actions that would
conclude a good source for winds. Not only
that, these windmills gave a good amount of
energy. Every windmill has its own capabilities
and limitations, but the most producing
windmill was the “modern day windmill”.

Scope and Delimitation
• Used 3 types of Windmills
Modern-type windmill
Eclipse Windmills (old type windmills)
Maglev windmill (vertical windmills)
• Electricity produced in a certain angle of
the windmill.
Significance of the Study
• To inform people how windmills work and/
or operate.
• To help society increase electricity
production.
• People will know how power is generated
in a windmill.
Concepts and Principles
• Windmills are used as water irrigation in
the early centuries.
• Windmills are considered to be good
sources of energy.
• Electricity is produced when windmills
rotate
• Electricity flow can be in either one
direction or back and forth.
Concepts and Principles
• The slower the blades go the lesser
energy produced.
• When blades are decreased, the
windmill does not react much.

Methodology
Planning Phase
• Built 1 windmill replica then removed the
number of blades for the experiment.
• Connected the wind generator to
windmill replica, then tested each
number the blades used.
• Had the records and made it used to
identify what windmill created the most
energy.

• Recorded the Observations
• When it came out well, connected the
wind generator to the windmill and tested
its power generation

Conclusion
In conclusion the modern type
windmill is the effective of all the types of
windmills. It exhibits a good number of
blades and gives out the best results for
energy production.
Conclusion
Also not only that, the windmills
exhibited released a good presentation
of the speed of production alongside with
the energy.
Recommendations
• The study is only about the angles of
the blades of the windmills. It develops
the knowledge of people of how the
blades would affect the production of
energy. However, the experiment
consists of many limitations. For more
information, we recommend you to:
• 1. Research about how the weight of
the blades would affect the windmills
rotation and the twisted angles twists.
 Recommendations
• 2. Research the quantity of the energy
production with regards to the number of
rotation a windmill can do.
• 3. A comparative study about the
different windmill settings.
• 4. Research about the place where the
windmills were placed to produce a
certain amount of energy.
