Educational Wind Turbine Kit

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 protected
