Description
Intermediate—Easy to perform; requires some background knowledge.
Wind turbines, solar panels, fuel cells and all the equipment involved in teaching renewable science naturally capture the imaginations of young minds. With the contents of the Renewable Energy Education Set, construct an entire miniature renewable energy system for experimentation and demonstration. The set includes a working miniature wind turbine kit, a solar photovoltaic panel, an electrolyzer, a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell, and a hydrogen storage system.
Students can experiment with the effects of shade on solar panels, measure wind resistance on turbine blades, try out different kinds of fuel cells to see which is the most efficient and compare metal hydrides with hydrogen generated from water electrolysis. The experiments are directly practical, involve fascinating, engaging technology, while still teaching those key electrochemical principles.
