KIDWIND WIND TURBINE HUBS
This pack of 3 KidWind hubs with twelve crimped holes are made from recycled plastic and allow you to turn any DC generator into a wind turbine.

The hub will press fit onto the shaft of many small DC generators; just attach your own blades and begin experimenting with wind power! The hub is designed to allow you to change blade angles and/or interchange blade sets quickly and easily. An improved stainless-steel insert can take a beating in your classroom year after year without failing!

FAQs:
Q How many blades can I use?
A Each hub has 12 holes, so you can experiment with any number of blades up to 12 (2, 3, 4, 6 or 12 work well!)

Q Will the hub work on all of the KidWind turbines?
A YES!

Q What size driveshaft does the hub fit on?
A This hub will friction-fit on a 2 mm driveshaft.

Q Will this hub work with the wind turbine generator?
A Yes.

Q Will this hub work with the high torque generator?
A Yes.

Q Will the screw threads strip or get stuck over time?
A No. The new stainless-steel insert on the hubs prevents stripping and binding experienced with previous generation hubs. With proper use, the hubs should last a long time.
