The Green Energy Machine allows your students to observe energy transformation
involving alternative energy sources. As the photovoltaic cell and wind turbine
operate, they produce DC electric current This current is displayed on DC
ammeters and stored in the 12 volt battery. The DC current can also be changed
to AC current by a 500 watt inverter to power electrical devices in your
classroom.
The portable unit houses the extendible wind turbine, photovoltaic cell, 12 volt
battery, inverter and two AC outlets. 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 electrical devices in the classroom.
