KIDWIND WIND TURBINE GENERATOR
This is KidWind's primary generator for wind turbine experiments because it runs smoothly and provides high power output at a relatively low RPM.
This generator has 1.2m leads which are attached with shrink-wrap reinforced soldering. Typical output in non-geared wind devices is 0.5-2.5volts at 0.1-0.3amps.
Activities:
Use this item as a DC motor or generator. Spin the driveshaft to produce electric current. Higher RPM yields higher power output.
Concepts:
Exploring energy transformations; designing, building and evaluating devices that convert one form of energy into another.
Undertanding renewable energy
Exploring circuits, electricity and magnetism
Relationship between energy and forces
Exploring forces and motion
Developing and using physical models
Understanding differences between energy and power
Designing controlled experiments
Optimising designs
Analysing data
Materials included:
Wind Turbine Generator
Specifications:
Voltage output: 0-10V
Amperage output: 0-0.3amps
Diameter: 31.8mm
Wire length: 1.2m

FAQs:
Q How much power can this generator make?
A Typical output in non-geared wind devices is 0.5-2 volts at 0.1-0.4 amps. Geared wind turbines can produce higher power output.
Q What size is the generator driveshaft??
A This generator has a 2mm driveshaft.
Q Will this generator work with the wind turbine hub?
A Yes, the hub fits perfectly on this generator driveshaft.
