"Only two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity and I am not so sure about the former."                         -Albert Einstein                 

We are launching our newest product called the Wind Turbine Trainer,  aka. Wind Energy Trainer.This product is light years beyond any KidWind or Lego set. This scale model of a real commercial windturbine is unlike anything you’ve ever seen!  The engineer behind the design is Ashish Gavali.  Ashish is a graduate from Iowa Lakes Wind Energy Program and since then has worked for various companies in the wind energy field.  The Wind Turbine Trainer is the result of many hours of training and experience in the field, classroom and workshop. Our trainer is set to become the new standard in wind energy training.

The Wind Turbine Trainer is the Premiere Product for your Wind Energy Program

 The Wind Turbine Trainer is specially designed for students.  The size of the nacelle, hub, and inner working components are large enough for groups of 4-5 students to work on, yet small enough to wheel inside of a classroom.  Watch the excitement from your students as they assemble this kit from scratch.  The purpose of the Wind Turbine Trainer is not to produce energy (includes a 0.5v generator) but to teach basic electro-mechanical aspects of how a real wind turbine works.  Starting from the fully functional yaw and pitch system to the see through gearbox and generator.  Included with a camera system which allows unlimited smart room patch in capabilities.

With real world applications your students will feel like they are working on the real thing!

 Features:

• Working voltages under 25 volts OSHA class 1 PPE

• Requires only single 120 v.a.c. input

• Fully functional pitch and yaw system

• Full hub power and communication

• Dry run, adjustable ratio, see through gearbox

• Clear permanent magnet 3 phase generator

• Variable speed drive train w/PWM controller 

• Servo motors w/ spring applied brakes & encoders included

•  12 Ch. Trx. remote to PLC & relay control 

• Dual mode function: plug-in power or battery operated
• Multi channel data logger w/ software

Benefits:

• Electrically safe for children to adults

• Platform for learning digital multimeter (DMM) to higher level meters like the oscilloscope

• Simulate different wind conditions from pinwheel to overspeed

• Tachometer and position feedback signals

• Clear visibility of planetary/parallel shaft gearbox & generator components, parallel shaft gears can be shunted to 1:1 ratio

• Multiple slip ring system prevents binding of wires

• Individual and separate pitch systems can be assembled/disassembled, tested and run without turbine

• Easy PLC integration

• Unlimited add on sensor capability

• Simulate real world operation, fault generation, and diagnostic troubleshooting

• Effectively teach from small classes to large auditoriums

Step up and pass through configuration, step down is possible as well.

 Future Options:

• Field testing retrofit kit
• Electrical power flow trainer add-ons
• Interface System to Daisy Chain Multiple Trainers Together

We currently have multiple patents pending on our turbines.
