Wind turbine

An interactive 'Challenge point'.

The Windmill Generator is an exhibit where the visitor can experiment with the amount, and the position of the blades of a fan. Air is blown across the table by a fan. The visitor can mount another fan blade on a support that in turn will be driven by the air stream. The rotation of this blade is counted on a display above the table. The turns are read out by a reed-contact and two round magnets that have been cast in the axle of the fan blades.

The original exhibit cost in the region of £7,500 (excluding software).

The reserve price is £3,000. Offers over this amount are invited.
