How It Is Used
A fan or a breeze turns the blades, and the dynamo converts the rotation into electrical energy. By changing the blade pitch or the wind speed, students compare the output and see how wind turbines convert the energy of moving air through lift, drag and electromagnetic induction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the blade angle be changed on the Windmill Model Kit?
Yes. The multi-blade rotor hub has adjustable pitch, so the effect of blade angle on output can be compared.
