KidWind® Gear Set with Spool
Experiment with gear ratios on your wind turbine or other small projects. Adding gears to your turbine can greatly increase the generator RPM, giving you higher power output. The small 8-tooth gear fits on 2 mm driveshafts that are found on many DC generators. The gears have a keying feature that allows them to be changed quickly and easily using the included hex locks. The hex lock secures to our 9/64 inch hex-driveshaft. Hex-driveshaft not included.

KidWind® Wind Turbine Generators
This is the primary generator for wind turbine experiments because it runs smoothly and provides high power output at a relatively low RPM. This is the competition generator used in KidWind Challenge events. This generator has 4-foot leads which are attached with shrink-wrapped, reinforced soldering. Typical output in non-geared wind devices is 0.5–2.5 V at 0.1–0.3 A.

KidWind® Wind Turbine Hubs
The hub will press fit onto the shaft of many small DC generators; just attach your own blades and begin experimenting with wind power! The hub is designed to allow you to change blade angles and/or interchange blade sets quickly and easily. An improved stainless-steel insert can take a beating in your classroom year after year without failing!

KidWind® High Torque Generator
The High Torque Generator is another option for your wind turbine generator. When compared to the standard Wind Turbine Generator, this High Torque Generator will produce lower voltage but higher current for a given rotor RPM. The High Torque Generator is great for load devices with higher current draw, such as the water pump. This generator has the same 2 mm driveshaft as the standard Wind Turbine Generator, so the Wind Turbine Hub is interchangeable with either motor. The generator also has 4-foot leads with shrink-wrap reinforced soldering.

KidWind simpleGEN AC Generator
The simpleGEN is an easy-to-build AC generator that allows students to explore the basics of electrical generator design. With the simpleGEN, you can demonstrate Faraday’s law, light LEDs, and perform experiments that explore how coils, magnets, and rotation affect electrical generation. With some quick modifications, you will be able to convert your generator to a simple motor and explore additional variables. You can also take your experiments to the next level by converting your simpleGEN into a wind turbine nacelle.
