How wind turbines work
A mini wind generator interactive exhibit. Users can experiment with different wind turbine blade configurations. A push button operated fan and amp meter enable them to test the impact of varying the number and angle of blades - so which is best 3, 4 or 6?
The 'how wind turbines work' interactive has been created thanks to the support of the Institute of Physics

The battery and controllers are pre-wired and fitted in a battery box. Simply mount the wind generator, connect it to the battery box and you have a demonstration of wind power in action (weather permitting!). The 100 Amp Hour battery is supplied charged and the battery box includes a 12 volt lighter type sockets to power suitable 12 volt equipment.
