How to Build a Wind Turbine for Your Science FairHigh School thru College
|
Note: all kits come unassembled. The student builds the solar kit. |
This kit contains powerful magnets. People with pacemakers must not handle or go near strong magnets.
Factoid: Germany is currently the number one producer of wind powered electricity in the world.

Create a 3-phase wind turbine from a common, everyday roof ventilator along with a few magnets and wire coils. Now you can have fun experimenting with wind technology.
The Whirlybird™ Wind Turbine Kit is a rugged, outdoor 3-phase wind turbine that you build. Assembly instructions included.

Features
-
It has great bearings that will not wear out under normal or even severe use. Without great bearings your wind
turbine is always fighting friction that only serves to slow it down with the attendant loss of power.
- It can be easily constructed with common tools and without soldering or drilling.
- It can be used indoors and outdoors where your study of day-to-day and season-by-season wind never stops.
- It produces 3-phase power just like the commercial wind turbines.
- You will be able to modify it in order to study the effects of magnetism and how you can optimize the mechanical components to produce maximum power.
