Thames & Kosmos Wind Power V4.0 STEM Experiment Kit for Learning Renewable Energy

This fourth-generation wind turbine kit allows you to build a realistic wind turbine to harness power from thin air. Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. For centuries, wind energy has been utilized to pump water and crush grain in windmills, and is increasingly being employed to generate electricity for our modern world.

Assemble a wind turbine complete with an electric generator and adjustable rotor blades. The blades feature complex aerodynamic curves, designed to mimic the look and function of contemporary wind turbine blades. Conduct experiments with your wind turbine, including adjusting the blade angle and turbine placement to optimize its performance. Use the wind turbine to light up an LED and charge a rechargeable battery. Furthermore, convert the generator into an electric motor and assemble a small electric car to demonstrate a tangible application for stored solar electricity. Discover how the sun generates the wind, providing us with an endless source of energy.

Read about the diverse types of wind turbines and windmills, the history of this technology, and how wind energy can be utilized to power homes and electric cars. The full-color, 32-page manual provides illustrated instructions and scientific information.

Build and experiment with a real, working 3-foot tall wind turbine to learn how wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. The single-piece blade construction ensures improved durability and better aerodynamics. Generate electricity to charge a battery and power a small model car. The new weatherproof battery box can be left outside, and the kit includes stakes to secure the turbine to the ground.

The Toy Association recognized this wind turbine kit as a 2021 Outdoor Toy Of The Year Finalist.
