Chipboard is a stiff, easy to cut, lightweight, low cost, and recyclable material used to make simple wind turbine blades.

The Breadboard Cable (Analog) provides an easy way for students to build their own sensor circuitry and input the signal into a Vernier interface for data acquisition.

Allows the Dual-Range Force Sensor to be mounted on the end of an air track for collision studies. Compatible with most air tracks distributed or made by PASCO scientific, Central Scientific, or Daedalon Corporation. Includes two magnetic bumpers.

Step-by-step experiments that are easily executable.

With the Vernier Variable load, students can adjust the potentiometer to provide resistances between 6 and 255 Ω, allowing them to determine the optimal load on a system.

All you need to add is a wind source, basic tools, and imagination!

Demonstrate Newton's laws of motion.

The KidWind Motor Mount Pack holds the motor (generator) in place when affixed to the wind turbine nacelle. The Motor Mount Pack can be used to replace lost parts from a nacelle. It can also be used to mount a nacelle to the tower for a vertical axis wind turbine configuration.

Need a tower for your turbine nacelle? This is the same tower that comes in the Basic Wind Experiment Kit and the Advanced Wind Experiment Kit. The wooden tower has a diameter that fits inside 1-inch PVC fittings.

Build a complete turbine by making your own tower and base with PVC pipe (from a hardware store) or use the KidWind Tower and Base Set. You will also need a generator and a way to affix the turbine blades. We recommend using the KidWind Wind Turbine Generator with Wires and a KidWind Hub.
