Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Shows how moving air can rotate blades or a turbine arrangement.
Covers wind energy, mechanical rotation and energy conversion.
Can be run indoors with a fan or outdoors in natural wind, depending on the supplied model.
Electrical output can be observed where the model includes an output device.
About This Product
A fan or controlled airflow source is placed in front of the windmill and started gently so students can watch the blades turn. Changing the airflow speed or direction shows how the rotor responds. The model connects windmill theory with real wind turbines and helps compare wind power with solar and other renewable sources. Fingers, hair, loose clothing and wires are kept away from the rotating blades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can the model be used indoors? Yes, with a fan or controlled airflow source directed at the blades. It can also be used outdoors in natural wind, depending on the supplied model.
