Educational Wind Turbine. The unit is for a study of wind turbine characteristics. The turbine consists of axial flow fan with speed control and flare entrance, a wind turbine, DC generator with resistance load, dynamometer, and measuring instruments. The turbine and blade angle can be adjusted using a special device. The unit can also be used for testing different blade design by students.

Educational Wind Turbine Typical Experiments:

Calculation of wind power.
Turbine output VS wind speed.
Turbine efficiency.
Effect of blade angle.
Effect of number of blades.
