Product Description

The R.B. Manufacturing PowerWheel Hydroelectrical Teaching Bundle is a polycarbonate model turbine that generates 12VAC power when connected to a water faucet. This model turbine demonstrates how water converts mechanical energy to electrical energy and teaches concepts of renewable energy and hydropower to students in grades K through 12. It is made of polycarbonate for durability and crack resistance. Polycarbonate resists grease, oil, detergent, and most inorganic acids, and has a very high impact resistance at nearly 30 times that of safety glass. The set includes a turbine wheel and generator, hose, LED light strip, test leads, bridge rectifier, and instructions.Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.R.B. Manufacturing manufactures model turbines for demonstrating hydropower and renewable energy in schools. The company, founded in 2010, is headquartered in Bellingham, WA.What's in the Box?
