WindPitch Education Kit

Now includes a FREE Renewable Energy Educational Curriculum CD (a $35 value)! Learning materials include: renewable energy education manual, experiment manual, flash animations, new science kit assembly guides, and technical support section.

Wind Pitch is a miniature real-working wind turbine (wind power generator) designed for students to evaluate the pitch (setting angle) of the profiled blades. Up to 12 profile blades can be installed for evaluation. Learn how the blade pitch and number of blades affect the power output of the wind turbine to maximize the output power. Experimentation also teaches about stalling or reduction of the wind turbine’s rotational speed to protect itself under strong wind conditions.
 
WindPitch includes 3 different types of profiled blades and 1 type of Poly-propylene sheet blades in a complete package that allows many blade parameters to be evaluated. The special 3 Phase AC alternator used in the WindPitch is similar to the one used in real commercial wind turbines. WindPitch comes with an LED Voltmeter / Music Maker Module to demonstrate the power created from the wind energy in the form of musical sounds and illuminated LED lights. Contained inside is a complete curriculum on wind energy with easy to follow experiment manual, assembly guide, and background history on the technology and wind power generators.
