Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available
today. With this kit, you can assemble a realistic wind turbine complete
with electric generator and adjustable rotor blades designed with complex
aerodynamic curves to look and work like modern-day wind turbine blades.
Experiment with the integrated hand crank to feel energy generation in your
hands. Conduct experiments to optimize the turbine’s performance by adjusting
the angle of the blades and discover how to use the wind turbine to light up an
LED. Quickly charge an electric capacitor to power a sleek electric car and
demonstrate a tangible application for the stored electricity.
The full-color, 32-page manual offers illustrated instructions and
scientific information that explores the different types of wind turbines
and windmills, the history of this technology, and how wind energy
can be used to power homes and electric cars
