Product Description
£545.00 ex VAT | £654.00 Inc VAT
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.
