Savage headed to Collegiate Wind Competition finals

 

Joshua Savage of Suffolk, an engineering student at James Madison University, is part of a team of 20 JMU students that has advanced to Phase 2, the final phase, of the 2023 Collegiate Wind Competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.

During Phase 2, teams will finalize their design reports for their wind turbine prototypes, according to a new release from the university. In addition, they will build and test their turbines, finalize their site design for their hypothetical offshore wind farm and continue to build connections with the wind industry and their communities. 

The selected teams will be given additional funding to complete their projects and to attend the final event May 15-19 at University of Colorado Boulder.

More information about the competition can be found on the U.S. Department of Energy website.
