Use this rugged, affordable mini wind turbine to illustrate the power of wind.
This easily assembled turbine that produces enough power to light an LED bulb and play a tune. A small domestic fan will produces enough draught to demonstrate this highly efficient turbine.
The basic kit just comes with Red Blade Set. The MINI Wind Turbine with Blade Design comes with a Wind Turbine Hub, a Digital Multimeter, 25 1/4″ x 5″ Dowels and a 3″ x 12″ Chipboard Sheet to allow students to perform basic blade experiments. More dowels and chipboad can be purchased as and when required.
This kit is also available in the KidWind MINI Wind Turbine with Blade Design.

Containing everything you need to unleash the advanced concepts of wind turbine technology! Conduct the same investigations as the Basic Wind Experiment Kit but with the ability to generate more power at higher voltages ( 0.5 V-20 V). This kit is ideal for years 8 through 12 as well as college students. It will provide young scientists with the opportunity to investigate gearboxes, Aerofoils and with the GenPack add-on; generator construction. They can also design and construct their own blades to generate electricity, lift weights, and pump water. Simply add your own wind source, basic tools, and imagination! The classroom pack option includes three turbines, extra hubs and blade consumables (for approximately 24 students).

The same as the KidWind simpleGEN but has enough materials to build 10 generators and includes three digital multimeters. Your students can now investigate the fundamentals of electrical generator design with an easy to build AC generator. The KidWind SimpleGEN enables you to demonstrate Faraday's law, light LEDs, and perform experiments that explore how coils, magnets, and rotation affect electrical generation. Convert your generator into a simple motor just by making a few quick alterations whilst also allowing for greater exploration. Further still, you can convert your simpleGEN into a wind turbine nacelle.
