Wind Energy Trainer

Demonstrate on a tabletop scale the conversion of energy from wind to electricity. The wind power plant generator (turbine)

can be setup with different blade configurations, and the source of airflow is adjustable. All required circuit modules and

measuring instruments are included. Use the wind generator as an electrical supply to the

AE 102 electrolyser, and add the AE

101

photovoltaic cells to demonstrate hybrid power plants. A custom formed carrying case is included.

Experiments:

• Measuring wind force outdoors

• Measuring wind force on the experiment platform

• Power output of the generator with different blade shapes

• Power output of the generator with different numbers of blades (2,3,4)
