Wind Pump Single Kit

Grades 3-12. For your STEM curriculum.

Get pumped about environmental engineering with this engaging wind pump activity.

• Students watch as their wind-driven turbines power the geared transmission operating a hydraulic pump, moving water from one level to another
• Physical, interactive activity combines scientific concepts of work, fluid mechanics, simple machines, and aerodynamics with an environmental engineering edge
• Explore alternative energy methods through the engineering and design process, as blade materials, angle, and pitch are adjusted and redesigned
• A wind stand is required for this project, you can make your own or purchase separately
• Downloadable instructions and documents available online
