KidWind Wind Turbine Generator
This is KidWind's primary generator for wind turbine experiments because it runs smoothly and provides high power output at a relatively low RPM. This is the competition generator used in KidWind Challenge events.
This generator has 4-foot leads which are attached with shrink-wrap reinforced soldering. Typical output in non-geared wind devices is 0.5-2.5 volts at 0.1-0.3 amps.
| Voltage output |
0-10 V |
| Amperage output |
