A small experiment on how wind generates electricity

Pinwheel Wind Turbine
When you attached the motor to the pinwheel and put it in front of the fan, you transformed the motor into a generator, which converts mechanical force (the spinning of the pinwheel) to electricity. It does this with the help of a magnet

Wind Energy Experiments & Turbine Science Project | HST
A wind turbine can produce enough electricity in about 6 months to recover the amount of energy used in building it, although it takes much longer than that to pay for itself. In the US, the

Seventh Grade, Generate Energy or Electricity Science Projects
You have probably read all about forms of alternative energy like solar and wind power. But what about human power? With the aid of a coil of wire and some magnets, you can generate

Light Wind: Electricity & Environmental Science Activity
By attaching blades to the motor, wind can be used to provide mechanical energy to the motor so that it works like a generator and supplies electricity. This electrical output could be measured with a multimeter, but an LED provides an

Unleash the Power of a Pinwheel! | Science Project
In the design of a wind turbine, the shaft can be positioned either horizontally or vertically, relative to the ground. If the shaft is positioned horizontally, parallel to the ground, then the turbine is

Frequently Asked Questions about Wind Energy
Wind energy (or wind power) refers to the process by which wind turbines convert the movement of wind into electricity. Wind is caused by the Sun''s uneven heating of the atmosphere, the irregularities of the Earth''s surface, and the

Light Wind: Electricity & Environmental Science Activity
Small hobby motor, 6-12 volts; Red, high-intensity LED; Four craft sticks; Small paper cup for fan blades; Medium cup for base; This simple wind generator is a model for wind turbines used

How Do Wind Turbines Work? | Department of Energy
The terms "wind energy" and "wind power" both describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. This mechanical power can be used for specific
