Wind Power Kit

Wind Power Kit: Grades 3 and up. Using kit materials, students construct a wind turbine complete with electric generator,adjustable rotors and wind speed indicator. They can then conduct more than 20 experiments with the device,including using differentnumbers of rotor blades, blade angles and profiles, wind speeds, gear ratios and more.Other experiments demonstrate the ability to use the turbines mechanical energy to lift a heavy weight or to generate electrical power to light an LED, or charge a battery.During these experiments, students learn about the physics of force and motion as it applies to wind power technology. Complete with instuctions and illustrations.
