About this model

This is a derivation of the OpenSCAD project submitted by Matt Larson. This was a project done by a high school physics class investigating the factors that affect the power generated by a wind turbine. This was the first full class 3D printing project that I did. I've made a couple very minor changes to the OpenSCAD file to make the variable names more intuitive to my students. I also added in some clarifying comments where I thought they would help and cleaned up some Depreciated code.
