Thames & Kosmos Wind Turbine 5.0 Science Kit

Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy. With this "Wind Turbine" kit, you can not only build a model but also assemble a realistic, working wind turbine with an electrical generator and adjustable rotor blades. These blades are designed with complex aerodynamic curves to look and perform just like modern wind turbines.

This is a true physics and engineering laboratory. Feel the energy production in your own hands by turning the integrated hand crank. Conduct experiments to optimize the turbine's performance by adjusting the blade angle. Observe how the energy you create lights up an LED bulb or quickly charges an electric capacitor, which is then used to power an elegant electric car. This is a great, tangible example of how electrical energy is stored.

Working Engineering Model: Assemble a realistic wind turbine with a generator and aerodynamically profiled blades.

Practical Physics Experiments: Conduct hands-on experiments to learn about force, motion, and energy (potential, kinetic, electrical).

Real Energy Usage: Convert wind energy into electricity, light up an LED bulb, and charge a capacitor to power the included electric car.

Detailed Scientific Guide: A 32-page color guide (EN) offers illustrated instructions and scientific information on different types of wind turbines, the history of this technology, and its applications.

Engineering Thinking: Children learn not only to assemble the model but also to optimize it by adjusting the blade angle for maximum performance.

Renewable Energy: Gain a practical understanding of how one of the most promising forms of energy (wind) is converted into electricity.

Physics Fundamentals: Get hands-on experience with aerodynamics, force, motion, and energy transformations (from wind to mechanical, from mechanical to electrical).

Problem Solving: Children experiment to discover the optimal blade angle or wind strength to best charge the car.

Curious children interested in mechanics, physics, and renewable energy.

Aspiring engineers looking for real-world, functional models.

As a high-level STEM tool that transforms theoretical knowledge into practical application.
