This activity links to aspects of energy production and electricity, giving pupils the opportunity to follow instructions to create their own wind turbines. This activity could be included in a lesson focusing on how wind turbines are one of many methods used to produce a sustainable energy source. Show health and safety information.
Find out how a wind turbine can use the power of the wind to generate energy in this science fair engineering project. You'll design various blades to find out which produces the most energy, and put the wind to work for you!
Building a wind turbine • To successfully build a wind turbine in the class-room, students should aim to complete the following challenge: › Build a wind turbine with recycled material that can lifta 20g counterweight as quickly as pos-sible (using the step-by-step guide in the section Support Material For The Teacher below)
Make a pinwheel to see how a very basic turbine works, and then use it to create electricity! If you don’t have the electrical components, you can still do the first part of this project to see how wind can create mechanical force. >> Use this pinwheel pattern (PDF) to build your turbine.
These instructions will show you how to build this PVC turbine, how to make blades for your wind turbine, how to use a multimeter to record electrical data and some basic wind energy science. Building the PVC Tower Base 1. Using (4) 90° PVC fittings, (2) PVC tees and (4) 6” PVC pipe sections construct the two sides of the PVC turbine base ...
This document is a project report on a wind turbine created by students as part of their Fluids Mechanics 2 course. It includes an introduction outlining the objectives of understanding how wind turbines function and producing electricity from a prototype.
