| | Abstract | This experiment tested wind energy against hydroelectricity. A wind |
| | turbine and a water wheel were built and tested at wind speeds of 5 mph |
| | and 10 mph, while the water was tested at heights of 1M and 0.5M. |
| | Waters overall voltage was almost double the winds. In conclusion water |
| | energy is more efficient and more practical to use in the Flint area. |
