Discover Advanced Aspects Of Wind Turbine Technology
- Perform all of the same investigations as the Basic Wind Experiment Kit with the ability to generate more power at higher voltages from 0.5 V to 20 V
- Discover advanced concepts of wind turbine technology, including gearboxes, mechanical power, effect of load on output, blade variables and power output, power curves and power and energy
- Students can use the blades they design to generate electricity, lift weights, and pump water
- Activities include: design and comparing turbine blades, generate electricity, measure power output, lift weights, light L.E.D.’s, charge capacitors, compare airfoils and flat blades and pump water
- This kit is recommended for grades 7–12 and college
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Assembled height: 24”
- Maximum blade diameter: 36”
- Maximum number of blades: 12
- Expected power output: 0 to 2 watts
