Description
Harness the power of the wind in this popular environmental engineering project. Using the build guide, construct an example TeacherGeek Wind Lift to raise and lower a bucket. Cycle through the engineering and design process to develop better solutions to lift heavier loads, or increase speed. Students will learn about wind power, energy, mechanical advantage, torque and work, growing understanding and engagement through labs and competitions. Blades can be made from raiding the recycling bin, 3-D printer creations or other found materials. Excellent for inventors of all ages. Build once, tinker forever.
