Wind Turbine Kit Class Set
Class set (25-30 students)
This kit provides learners with the opportunity to design blades to
generate electricity with a model wind turbine. Learners will explore
the impact of materials, shape and number of blades on the generation of
electricity in a wind turbine assembly. This kit is paired well with an
industry expert to consult on the design and generation of wind
turbines. There are enough blade materials for a class of 25+ to each
design their own set of blades, and then test them on one of the three turbine set ups.
Each kit includes:
- Wind turbine (3)
- Vernier Resistor Board (3)
- LED board (3)
- Blade Pitch Protractor (3)
- Wind Turbine Hub (8)
