Wind Power 4.0

Build Your Own 3' Tall Wind Turbine to Harness Power Out of Thin Air

Assemble a realistic wind turbine complete with electric generator and adjustable rotor blades that are designed with complex aerodynamic curves to look and work like modern-day wind turbine blades. Then, 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 and charge a rechargeable battery. Convert the generator into an electric motor and assemble a small electric car to demonstrate a tangible application for stored solar electricity, or power a fan.

Includes 38 pieces and a full-color, 32-page manual to guide you through 5 experiments. Requires (1) 1.2-volt AA rechargeable battery (not included). Measures 3' tall once assembled. For ages 8+.
