Exploring Wind Energy Potential for Hopi Village Electric Generation

This exploration kit by Lab Manager Sean Dengler investigates the economic viability of wind turbines for generating electricity for a village on the Hopi Indian Reservation. It includes essential components like a DC motor, propeller, AA battery, light bulb, and multimeter, allowing hands-on problem-based learning. The project incorporates real wind speed data specific to the Hopi site, facilitating an understanding of energy production potential in different conditions. Engage with this kit to explore renewable energy solutions for remote communities.
