Horizontal Winds Turbine Kits

Using the recycled plastic parts provided, students collaborate to build a horizontal wind turbine. When construction is complete, groups perform energy activities to see how a turbine can convert wind energy into stored energy that can be later used to power various real-world devices. Students see tangible proof of wind energy as they make their turbines power an LED and piezo buzzer or measure its output on a multimeter. The Starter Kit includes all the parts needed to build a fully functioning vertical wind turbine. The Complete Kit includes everything in the Starter Set plus components and learnings. Full contents lists below. Recommended for Elementary and up.
