Thames & Kosmos Wind Power (V 5.0)

• Build a working wind turbine with an electric generator and adjustable, aerodynamically curved blades that mirror modern turbine design

• Feel the physics: use the integrated hand crank to experience energy generation and compare it to wind-driven output

• Run blade-angle optimization experiments to maximize RPM, torque, and power output—then light an LED with your turbine

• Charge fast: store energy in a high-capacity electric capacitor and power the revamped model car—about two minutes to charge, no batteries required

• Updated V 5.0 engineering: new blade hub and gear ratio improve performance with both outdoor wind and indoor fan setups

• Explore real-world applications: how wind energy powers homes, grids, and electric vehicles, plus the history and types of windmills/turbines

• Durable, reconfigurable parts and a full-color manual make this a classroom-ready, at-home-friendly STEM kit
