Energy: Wind Power & Nuclear Reactor Tour!

Students in Prof. Kung’s “Energy” class were challenged to design and construct turbine blades that would produce the most power. The designs were put into a head-to-head competition and the winning designs are pictured below!

 

Elek, Aaliyah and Max’s winning design lifted 50 metal washers!

 

Shamari, Shivani, Zaid and Hannah’s winning design bested all the other designs this semester!

 

As cell phones and cameras aren’t allowed in the reactor room itself, UHP students pose in the hallway of University of Maryland’s Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Building after the reactor tour. You can take a virtual tour of the reactor here!
