KIDWIND RED BLADE SET
These 200mm diameter wind turbine blades are optimised to spin at very high RPMs. The blades fit on any DC generator or motor with a 2mm driveshaft. Because they are optimised to spin at very high RPMs they produce high voltage (5-6 volts) with the KidWind Wind Turbine Generator - you will even be able to light bulbs and pump water with basic box fan winds!
These blades are supplied with the MINI Wind Turbine. They feature an airfoil profile and twisted pitch just like real turbine blades.
Activities:
Light LED bulbs (when used with our wind turbine generator)
Run a low voltage water pump (when used with our wind turbine generator)
Compare student blade designs to optimal design
Concepts:
Exploring energy transformations
Exploring clean energy
Understanding the relationship between energy and forces
Understanding the relationship between forces and motion

Designing controlled experiments
Materials included:
Pre-molded blade set
Maximum Blade diameter: 200mm
Fits on 2mm driveshaft
FAQs:
Q Where can I learn more about airfoil shapes and wind turbine blade design?
A Check out our Advanced Blade Design Manual.
Q What is the wind turbine blade set made of?
A These blades are 100% recycled plastic and made at a wind-powered manufacturing plant in New York!
