Listed below are additional wind experiments that can be performed with the Wind Kit wind turbine uslng a multlmeter or with Horlzon's Renewable Energy Monitor Lab and your computer. 

Using Different Blade Shapes Create Power 

This experiment demonstrates how blades with different curvatures produce different degrees of power output. Wind turbine blades are shapad like airplane wings, and one size does not fit all requiremants. You will measure and undarstand how using the right blade shape can produce optimum power for different wind conditions. 

How Many Bladas Are Best? 1, 2, 3, 4 ...

Using the right number of blades for a given wind condition is important in extracting the maximum electrical power from a wind turbine. You will measure and undersland the choices between the numbers of blades that are necessary to produce best results. 

Adjusting Blade Pitch for Best Performance 

Angling the blades into and away from the wind are important elements in creating maximum power- or slowing the speed of rotatlon. Thls experiment wlll show you the tachnlques for stalling and furling as well as adjusting tha blade pltch to extract the maximum degree of power from the wind. 

How Much Power Can Be Extracted from the Wind

While power from the wind is free as long as it blows, it is still limited to certain physical laws. This experiment will show you how to measure wind speed versus extracted wind power. 

Using Wind Power to Generate Hydrogen 

One important use of wind power is to generate hydrogen in a clean, non-polluting manner. This experiment shows you exactly how to do it. 

Measure Wind Turbine Performance Using RPM 

Using our electronis measurement tool you can measure the voltage, current, power and RPM {revolutions par minute) rotational speed of the wind turbine and see it displayed on the measurement tool as well as your computer. Watch the RPM as it changes with wind speed and resistor loading and witness how to slow down and even stop the wind turbine spinning without even touching it - just by adding the right resistor combinations. Make measurernents for wind power and turbine efficiency to really undarstand how this remarkable device works. 

Build a Wind Farm 

Arrange multiple Wind Kit turbines in series and parallel configurations in order to study the voltage, current, and power generated. Design a simulation of a commercial wind farm in model scale and learn the potential of wind power as a mass energy source.
