In the Classroom

The Green Energy Machine is a powerful way for you and your students to observe energy transformation involving alternative energy sources. As the photovoltaic cell and wind turbine operate, they produce DC electric current which is displayed on DC ammeters and is stored in the 12 volt battery, or be changed to AC current by a 500 watt inverter to power something in your classroom.

The portable unit houses the entendible wind turbine, photovoltaic cell, 12 volt battery, inverter and two AC plugs. By wheeling the Green Energy Machine outside and exposing the photovoltaic cell to sunlight or the wind turbine to wind currents electricity can be generated.

The DC electricity flows into the Green Machine where students will be able to see how many volts and amperes of electricity are being generated, and how the energy can be put to use powering lights or something in the classroom.
