Wind Power Demonstrator
This wind power generator can be used to demonstrate
the generation of electricity by a wind-powered turbine.
Wind produced by the hand-cranked fan subsequently
turns a second fan connected to a generator. When the
fan rotates, it produces electricity and lights up a small
bulb, and a connected voltmeter indicates the amount
of current being produced. Instructions included. Unit
measures 12" x 8 1 ⁄2" x 7 1 ⁄2". Grades 7- 12. Sh. wt. 4.50 lbs.
