KidWind Red Blade Set

These 8 in. diameter wind turbine blades fit on any DC generator or motor with a 2 mm driveshaft. They are optimized to spin at very high RPMs and produce high voltage (5-6 volts) with our wind turbine generator - you will even be able to light bulbs and pump water with basic box fan winds!

These blades come with the MINI Wind Turbine. They feature an airfoil profile and twisted pitch – just like real turbine blades.

You Can:

• Light LED bulbs (when used with KidWind's wind turbine generator)
• Run a low voltage water pump (when used with KidWind's wind turbine generator)
• Compare student blade designs to optimal design
