Wind Turbine Kit
Product code: HE1008890
Product Description
The Wind Turbine Kit is a working model of a real wind turbine.
This interactive set shows how wind power can be harnessed to generate electricity, either indoors with a fan or outdoors in the wind. Assembled in minutes, it can be used at all stages of education from primary school to university level to learn about renewable energy.
