Wind Tunnels (Aerodynamics Lab)

Wind Tunnels (Aerodynamics Lab)

Principle

In this experiment a wind wheel is set up at various distances from the blower.  The wind that reaches the wind wheel has different speeds.

Benefits

• Experiment is part of a complete solution set with a total of 26 experiments for Renewable Energy solar cells, wind power, water power
• Safe experimentation: The fan in the blower is protected against touch
• The power supply used is versatile and is particularly suitable for pupil tests for all ages

Tasks

What influence does the wind speed have on the voltage produced by a wind wheel?

Measure the voltage that the wind wheel produces at different distances from the blower.

Repeat the experiment setting different supply voltages for the blower.
