The Sky-Z Mini is the smallest member of our Wind Turbine family. With powerful curriculum components
that focus on Energy and 3D Printing our kits stand alone in the
Education and Maker industries. Standing at 20” in (508 mm) fully built
the Sky-Z Mini platform has over 20 possible wind/solar labs that can be
tested. All of our Wind Energy kits come in either AC (Alternating
Current) or DC (Direct Current) configurations, the difference being in
the type of electricity generator that the turbine will use. All kits
come with a 6 Blade hub that allows users to use anywhere from 1-6
Blades in their design.
- Generator Configuration Options:
- AC (Alternating Current)- Electricity is produced through magnetic induction using 4X 200 rotation coils and 4 magnets.
- Kit Levels:
- Basic: Sky-Z Mini Wind Turbine Platform, LED Light Lab
- Quick Facts:
- AC kits are recommended for advanced middle school users and above
due to the higher degree of difficulty involved with building an
electricity producing generator.
- DC kits can be used across all grade levels elementary and above.
- All kit options comes withsix 6in (152.4 mm) Blades and a 6 Blade
hub that can be used to house alternative blade sizes and designs.
- Blade hubs have a built in blade pitch adjustment variable.
AC Configurations outputs a maximum of 4.5 V.
*ProTip: To change maximum power output change the coils for more or
less rotations or use alternate magnet types such as neodymium
