Practice Prompt 1 Tiny Turbine

This article is about a small turbine used to produce energy. The inventor Jung- Chih Chiao created this as a mobile power source. The turbines are made of flexible nickel alloy, and are 100 micros thick. Up to a thousand of these little turbines can fit in your phone sleeve. They can also be used as a phone charger, but it will only produce enough energy for a quick call or text. These turbines work the same as any other, by using wind power to make energy. Because so many of these turbines can be made at a time they will soon be able to get for a reasonable price.

  1. A single wafer ( thin slice of nickel alloy) can make a lot of tiny turbines.
  2. A prototype must be made to make see your inventions flaws and strong points.
  3. The car was very durable and could take a lot of damage.
  4. The football player had to withstand the pain of a broken leg.
  5.  Jung-Chih Chiao had to patent his invention in order for it to sell.
  6. The turbine was harnessing the power of the wind to make energy
  7. The Lion had to assert his dominance by roaring really loud
  8. Making the micro chip was very arduous.
  9. We had to contemplate this
