The basic turbine is a great start for teaching students about wind energy.
Tested and approved by thousands of teachers worldwide, this is one of the most affordable and robust wind turbine kits on the market.
Students can design turbine blades for it and test power output with a multimeter, LED lamps, or an ultra capacitor (each sold separately).
This is where it all began for KidWind®, developing a simple, robust, yet highly experimental classroom turbine.
