P = K.E./∆t = 1/2 ρ A v^3
This means that a 20% increase in wind velocity could result in a 70% increase in power. This would be valuable information to include in our exhibit's signage, as it pertains to the science behind wind energy.

5/13 Class update
On Friday, we had our first design review. Despite our efforts to not be the last group to present, we ended up going last anyway and had to work against the clock to fit in our presentation and get feedback from the panel of experts. One of the most important things we learned from the panel was that wind speed is the most important factor in generating power from wind, as it follows this formula:
