Toys and Games Reviews of Green Science Windmill Generator by Toysmith
Customer Review: Start the experiment with DRY bottle!!
Summary: 3 Stars
My son is 9 and it was very easy for him to pull it together.
The first time my son wired it wrongly, so the LED would not turn on.
It took me a lot of work to take the screws out, since they are of poor quality, and can be wasted easily, making the hole bigger, therefore less friction to turn the screws.
Finally I took it out, my son corrected the wiring, and now it works.
We made it a winter day, and there was no wind outside. Our fan is in the attic. So I used a hairdryer to produce the wind, and test it.
A hairdryer is enough to make the amount of wind you need to prove the effect of wind power.
Next time I would start the experiment with a DRY bottle, with no water in it. So we can avoid the possibility of wetting the LED, and frustrate the experiment.
After the experiment, I asked my son to read the part of "How does the generator work?" to learn together. It was very interesting to know that a small wind generator can supply enough electricity for a home, school or factory.
This was a nice project to start the interest of the child on wind power, and to learn more from websites about wind powers.
