Wind Power

Wind Power – STEM Science Kit

Product Description:
Explore the power of clean, renewable energy with Wind Power from Thames & Kosmos! Build a realistic wind turbine complete with an electric generator and adjustable rotor blades designed with complex aerodynamic curves inspired by modern wind turbines. Once assembled, conduct experiments to discover how changes to the blade angle can affect the turbine's performance and learn how wind energy can be converted into usable electricity.

Use the integrated hand crank to experience energy generation firsthand, light an LED, and charge an electric capacitor. You can even convert the generator into an electric motor and assemble a small electric car to demonstrate how stored electrical energy can be used in a practical application. The full-colour 32-page manual includes illustrated instructions and fascinating scientific information about wind turbines, windmills, the history of wind power, and how renewable energy can be used to power homes and electric vehicles.

Features:

• Build a Working Wind Turbine: Assemble a realistic turbine with an electric generator and adjustable aerodynamic rotor blades.

• Explore Renewable Energy: Experiment with blade angles, generate electricity, light an LED, and investigate how wind energy can be converted into usable power.

• Build an Electric Car: Convert the generator into an electric motor and assemble a small electric car to demonstrate a practical application of stored electrical energy.

Ages: 8+
