Introduce students to motors, generators, and renewable energy with this classroom pack of 10 miniature DC motor and wind turbine demonstration sets.
Each set includes a small DC motor with attached wire leads and a red turbine blade that can be mounted to the motor shaft. When powered with a low-voltage DC source, the motor spins the turbine blade to demonstrate basic motor action. When used in reverse with moving air from a fan, the motor can act as a simple wind turbine generator, helping students see how mechanical motion can be converted into electrical energy.
This pack is ideal for classroom activities, STEM labs, physical science lessons, electricity units, and alternative energy demonstrations. The compact size makes these easy to distribute to lab groups, allowing multiple students to build, test, compare, and observe at the same time.
Features:
- Pack of 10 miniature DC motors and 10 red turbine blades
- Motor operates on 1.5–3.0V DC
- Includes approximately 12-inch wire leads
- Demonstrates both motor action and simple generator/wind turbine principles
- Useful for electricity, circuits, energy conversion, and renewable energy lessons
- Great for STEM classrooms, science labs, homeschool activities, and maker projects
Suggested classroom uses:
- Demonstrate how a DC motor works
- Explore energy conversion from electrical to mechanical energy
- Use fan-generated airflow to model basic wind power generation
- Compare turbine speed with different airflow distances or fan settings
- Incorporate into simple circuit, generator, and renewable energy activities
This economical 10-pack is a practical choice for teachers who need multiple demonstration units for group work, replacement parts, or hands-on STEM activities.
