Description
Specifications
  • The Wind Turbine Kit is a working model of a real wind turbine
  • This interactive set shows how wind power can be harnessed to generate electricity, either indoors with a fan or outdoors in the wind
  • Assembled in minutes, it can be used at all stages of education from primary school to university level to learn about renewable energy
  • Power the electric motor, buzzer and LED modules
  • Experiment with two, three or six blades, adjust blade angles, and measure output on the voltmeter
  • Explore the relationship between gearing and power output with three gear ratios
  • Automatically turns to face into the wind direction
  • Durable, with a storage case to keep components organised and protectedKit Contents
