KidWind® Nacelle
Build a complete turbine by making your own tower and base with PVC pipe (from a hardware store) or use the KidWind Tower and Base Set. You will also need a generator and a way to affix the turbine blades. We recommend using the KidWind Wind Turbine Generator with Wires and a KidWind Hub.

KidWind simpleGEN AC Generator
The simpleGEN is an easy-to-build AC generator that allows students to explore the basics of electrical generator design. With the simpleGEN, you can demonstrate Faraday’s law, light LEDs, and perform experiments that explore how coils, magnets, and rotation affect electrical generation. With some quick modifications, you will be able to convert your generator to a simple motor and explore additional variables. You can also take your experiments to the next level by converting your simpleGEN into a wind turbine nacelle.
