leXsolar-Wind Ready-to-go 2.0

Loyal to the tradition of the Ready-to-go products, this system also enables the maximum number of experiments without additional accessory. Due to the stable aluminum box it is also applicable location-independent. The extensions „measurementswithout measuring tools“ and “Wind Speedometer” are already included. With leXsolar-Wind Ready-to-go you are able to resolve all questions you may have concerning the physical basics of using wind energy. leXsolar-Wind Ready-to-go is also suitable for the application of in-house workshops – for example for sales representatives.

Experiments:

Dependance of the power plant on wind speed

• Phenomenological with light bulb
• Through measuring the voltage at the generator
• Through determining the power output of the generator using a constant resistance

Variation of the generated voltage during connecting a consumer

• With resistance
• With the consumers buzzer, engine and light bulb

Analysis of wind speed in front of and behind the rotor

• While engine idle
• With loaded generator

Effincency determination of a wind power plant

Saving energy

Energy conversion and use of wind energy

• Consideration of energie conversion kinetic energy rotational energy electrical energy radiation energy by the LED
• Consideration of differet energie conversions with buzzer, engine and light bulb

Analysis of different rotor types

• Comparison 3-bladed and Savonius rotor
• Comparison 2-, 3-, and 4-bladed rotor
• Phenomenological comparison using a light bulb (only with extension „measurements without measuring tools“)

Characteristics of the wind generator

Dependence of the wind generator on wind direction

• While engine idle (measurement of voltage)
• Loaded
• Phenomenological using a light bulb

Other application tests

This are interesting trials, which are included in the curricula and just have an indirect reference to the topic of wind energy

• Air resistance of different objects
• RPM Measurement of the wind generator
