JMU: Collegiate Wind Competition

Works continues uninterrupted on our CWC project, even as our team is isolated. Our team met virtually tonight to discuss our way forward.

Students on the Siting and Business sub-team of the JMU Collegiate Wind Competition team are hard at work. These students are examining several different sites and business models within the state of Colorado for potential as a wind farm site. They have done deep background research and are creating pro forma statements for each.

The Engineering sub-team of the JMU Collegiate Wind Competition team successfully conducted its rotor strength test on Thursday! @ JMU Engineering

The JMU team competing in the Collegiate Wind Competition got the amazing chance to visit Mr. Roger Beale. Mr. Beale is a retired engineer who has constructed a scale wind tunnel in his backyard! Our team has acquired this tunnel and we are looking forward to using it to test and verify our turbine prototype!





@ Evington, Virginia

JMU CWC is back in 2020! We got the chance to visit the Beech Ridge Wind Farm in West Virginia. Extremely inspiring experience. .
