KIDWIND BASIC TURBINE BUILDING PARTS 10 PACK
This classroom pack is great for students who don’t want a ready-made wind turbine. It is ideal for educators who want an affordable way for each students or student group to do hands-on experiments with wind power.

• Wind Turbine Hub (10)
• Wind Turbine Generator with Wires (10)
• Dowels (250)

With the Basic Turbine Building Parts, you can:
Build a D.I.Y. wind turbine. The hub attaches to the motor/generator. Students build their own blades (not supplied), attach them to the dowels and insert the dowels into the hub for experimentation. The DC motor/generator produces electricity when it spins.
