These wind turbine models are based on Horizon Wind’s 2006 wind overlay map for Arkwright, NY with 1200ft setback from houses, and 500 setback from roads. The 48 turbines depicted in the video are within 15% of real, estimated dimensions, relative to the topological data. This video simulation was *not* created in cooperation with Horizon Wind.

Taylor’s Foundation in Science Student Project – Students designed a car that is fully dependant on the intensity of sunlight. The solar panel transforms solar energy to electrical energy and does not produce any harmful gas, such as carbon monoxide. To avoid the possibility of the car being dysfunctional during the absence of sunlight, a set of stored batteries was installed; hence the name, Hybrid Car.

Taylor’s Foundation in Science Student Project – Named after the first vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) inventor Finnish engineer Sigurd J. Savonius in 1922, this windmill is highly efficient. Unlike horizontal-axis wind turbine (ie the windmill in Holland), this invention is not dependent on wind direction. It can generate voltage easily with the presence of wind regardless of the winds direction.
