The WindPitch Education Kit includes a miniature real-working wind turbine (wind power generator) designed for students to evaluate the pitch (angle setting) of the profiled blades. Up to 12 profile blades can be installed for evaluation. Learn how the blade pitch, blade shape, and number of blades affect the power output of the wind turbine to maximize the output power. Experimentation also teaches about stalling or reduction of the wind turbine’s rotational speed to protect itself under strong wind conditions. WindPitch includes 3 different types of profiled blades and 1 type of polypropylene sheet blades in a complete package that allows many blade parameter’s evaluation. The special 3 Phase AC alternator used in the WindPitch is similar to the one used in real commercial wind turbines. WindPitch comes with an LED Voltmeter/Music Maker Module to demonstrate the power created from the wind energy in the form of musical sounds and illuminated LED lights. Contained inside is a complete curriculum on wind energy with easy to follow experiment manual, assembly guide, and background history on the technology and wind power generators.

Multiple Intelligences

Our toy experts have indicated that the WindPitch Education Kit strengthens the following Intelligences:

Math-Logical

Children with strong Math-Logical intelligence have the ability to reason deductively and can recognize and manipulate abstract patterns or relationships. Students who have strong problem-solving and reasoning skills will excel in this intelligence.

Spatial

Children with Spatial intelligence have the ability to create visual-spatial representations and can transfer them mentally or concretely. Students who exhibit this intelligence need a mental or physical "picture" to understand the information being presented.

Interpersonal

Children with strong Interpersonal intelligence work effectively in a group and understand and recognize the goals, motivations and intentions of others. Students with this intelligence thrive in cooperative, group work situations and are skilled at communicating, mediating and negotiating.

Intrapersonal
