Homemade Wind Generators

This lesson plan is provided by Agrowknowledge and includes directions for building a wind generator. The lesson plan includes materials needed and nine step-by-step instructions. Once built, the unit can be set in the path of a fan or in a windy area outside. "The cups should catch the wind and spin the cardboard and magnets over the top of the coils of wire. This will generate a current to light the diode." A larger wind generator can be made with plastic 55 gallon drums and metal sheeting.
