The Wind Turbine Kit is a working model of a real wind turbine.

This interactive set shows how wind power can be harnessed to generate electricity either indoors with a fan or outdoors in the wind. Assembled in minutes it can be used at all stages of education from primary school to university level to learn about renewable energy.

• Power the electric motor buzzer and LED modules

• Experiment with two three or six blades adjust blade angles and measure output on the voltmeter

• Explore the relationship between gearing and power output with three gear ratios

• Automatically turns to face into the wind direction

• Durable with a storage case to keep components organised and protected
