Horizon Wind Energy Education Kit and Renewable Energy Monitor Check Availability

WindPitch 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 turbine.

This Kit also includes the Horizon Renewable Energy Monitor, which allows users to monitor data from the wind turbine.
