Students can build a wind turbine that uses a motor/generator.
Standing over 45 in. high from base to top of blade, the KELVIN® Experimental Wind Turbine provides students the opportunity to test rotor and blade designs by varying the rotor sweep, blade size and blade shape to change the electrical output of the generator. Test rotor output with the included multimeter or see how many LEDs are lit.
Students can also fold a cardstock model house and create their own LED circuit to plug into the wind turbine generator.
Kit includes: motor generator, gearbox parts, hub, corrugated plastic for blades, PVC stand with sturdy base, multimeter, LEDs, breadboard, printed house layout, wire, terminals, and instructions.
Requires assembly. A box fan or similar on a stand is required but not included.
