I am conducting my project similar to the project "Unleash the Power of a Pinwheel!" on Science Buddies. On the position vs. Power Data Table I don't know what (W) stands for. Can you help? Thank you

Hi,
I understand you are trying to do this Science Buddies experiment:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p025.shtml
I think you are asking about W in the third data table.(The position vs. Power data table).. The instructions do seem a little confusing. W in the power column of the this table represents the units of power (Watts), as defined in Equation 1 in the introduction section.
I hope this helps. You are doing an excellent project that is extremely timely. Wind farms using these principles are currently being build all over the US and world about as fast as possible. Have fun with this great idea!
Best regards,
