I'm AWESOME at science fair, last I missed going to state by 1 point.
My idea is a windless windmill; I built a windmill last year, so I was looking to re-use it. I was going to compare the normal windmill to a windmill with no wind, but using centrifugal force.
Ideas?
Opinions?

From this description, it sounds like your local schools have a low standard for science fair, or don't teach science. To get a good idea of what a science fair is really about, see the best answer at the first reference. For someone who takes the science fair seriously, see the second reference.

Actually sound like you have the making of a good project. Make sure you do research on world use. Also make sure design a good research plan to test the two. Good luck

Hmmm; I have never heard of using centrifugal force to make a windmill turn (if I understood you correctly).
