Wind Turbine Demo Apparatus

This exciting kit allows students to build and test a fully-functional wind turbine. The 10 page comprehensive guide was developed by the Kid Wind Project and contains in-depth information about the history wind turbines, the evolution of their design, and wind energy generally. Students will use the included multimeter (which can be re-used in a variety of other scientific experiments) to monitor how much power their wind turbine produces.  This kit constitutes an excellent introduction to clean energy concepts and practical application, and trains students in amateur circuitry, electronics, physics, and engineering.  Affordably priced for the classroom; break students up into small groups and have each build and test their own wind turbine.  A great excuse to get outside the insulated classroom to conduct real-world experiments using natural physical forces.

Features:

• Students will build a fully functional wind turbine - includes all necessary components
• Students will assemble a motor, electrical wiring, propeller fan, and stand with clamp to create a turbine
• Students will test the power output of their turbines using the multimeter included in the kit
• Includes a 10-page comprehensive guide with information about wind turbine history and design and wind energy
• Great for teaching circuitry, electronics, physics, and clean energy both in the classroom and the school yard
