Early American Energy Design Brief

During our brainstorming for the creation of our product, we were given the problem of needing to find a way to transport a log into town, using wind as our energy source. As we continued with our brainstorming, we came across the problem that the wind will change direction, and therefor the direction of the energy. In the 1800s, most people relied on wood for constructing and making fires, it was essential to everyday life. If there was an efficient way to get logs into town, most of the people in the town, including those selling logs, would be greatly affected. This problem is valid, as many people are affected by it and would benefit if it were solved. Our design does have some simple constraints. the main one is that is has to be big enough that the weight of the log wont destroy it, and have a great enough mass that it can move a log.
