KidWind High Torque Generator

The High Torque Generator is another option for your wind turbine generator. When compared to our standard Wind Turbine Generator, this High Torque Generator will produce lower voltage but higher amperage for a given rotor RPM. The High Torque Generator is great for load devices with higher current draw (like the water pump).

This generator has the same 2 mm driveshaft as the standard Wind Turbine Generator, so the KidWind Hub is interchangeable with either motor. The generator also has 4-foot leads with shrink-wrap reinforced soldering.

You Can:

• Use the High Torque Generator as a DC motor or generator
• Spin the driveshaft to produce electric current
• Explore torque vs. speed
• Compare airfoils and flat blades
