Background Information Pertaining to Wind Farms
The most important factor to consider in the construction of a wind energy facility is the site’s wind resource. A site must have a minimum annual average wind speed in the neighborhood of 11-13 mph to even be considered.

Local weather data available from airports and meteorological stations may provide some insight as to averages.

Concerns are arising as to the ecological effect on land and landscape. Also, what impact do wind farms have on the health of all living things?

WARNING CHOKING HAZARD- Small parts. Not for Children under 3 yrs.

WARNING CHOKING HAZARD- Toy contains a cord. Not for Children under 3 yrs.

WARNING THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS MAGNETS – Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines causing serious infections and death. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed or inhaled.

WARNING! HIGH MAGNETIC FIELD. Can cause medical implants, implanted heart pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators to cease operation. Maintain 12 inch safe distance from ion pump.

You will receive parts to build the wind turbines pictured.

The magnets break easily. To separate magnets from each other, carefully slide them apart.
