Product Description

Wind Power is a new Thames & Kosmos kit that explores a renewable energy source that's been used by farmers and millers for centuries and is now being used in our modern world to generate electricity on a large scale. This advanced science kit teaches you how to harness power out of thin air! Wind Power starts with you building a working wind turbine complete with electric generator, adjustable rotors, and speed indicator. Then conduct more than 20 experiments, all detailed in a 32-page illustrated manual. During the Wind Power experiments, you will learn the physics of force and motion as it applies to wind power technology. Learn how to measure and calculate the different forces acting on the rotor blades by breaking them down into vectors. Discover how the sun makes the wind, providing us with an endless source of energy. Read about different types of wind turbines and windmills. Renewable Energy is an essential part of a clean, healthy future for our world.
