This research could impact on the construction of wind turbines. Increased torque may permit increased turbine size and produce more electricity than that of a single rotor wind turbine. The use of multiple rotors to increase torque could result in lower construction costs because rotor blades would be smaller, fewer support towers would be required and the overall efficiency of wind turbines would increase.

Wind energy is the fastest growing source of energy worldwide. I believe that it will become more popular in North America. My research could lower the cost of producing wind energy and have the added bonus of requiring less wind towers. This could lessen some of the opposition to the construction of wind farms.

Phase 2

"Torque it Up!" was a successful project that proved my hypotheses regarding multiple rotors to be correct. I plan to continue my research.
