Adafruit Thames & Kosmos Wind Power Kit

Build a three-foot-tall wind turbine that generates electricity with the Wind Power Kit from Thames & Kosmos. With this kit, you'll explore the physics of wind turbines and harness power from the air. It generates enough energy to light an LED or charge a battery.

Wind energy, a clean and renewable source, has been used for centuries. Today, it's increasingly essential for generating electricity. Assemble a wind turbine complete with an electric generator and adjustable rotor blades. Designed with complex aerodynamic curves, the blades mimic modern turbine designs.

Conduct experiments to optimize performance by adjusting blade angles and turbine placement. The wind turbine can power an LED or charge a rechargeable battery. Transform it into an electric fan by utilizing the generator as a motor.

Build four additional models: an electric three-wheeler, car, helicopter, and truck. This kit explains how wind, powered by the sun, offers endless energy. The full-color, 32-page manual provides illustrated instructions and scientific insights.

Learn about various wind turbines, their history, and how they can power homes and cars. Note: Batteries not included; requires 1.5V AA LR6 or 1 rechargeable. Shipping weight adheres to UPS's dimensional weight regulations.
