Make renewable energy for children to experience

Especially in this day and age, are always relevant and important in the renewable energy from environmental point of view, it is especially nice to be able to experience them with the help of an experimental box for children and comprehensible.
Wind power is an important issue in terms of the energy transition.
Cosmos succeeds here with this truly impressive set a merge of anschaulichem knowledge, joy of experimentation and model building (I think that this set also just might be of interest to schools).
This performs a very well-structured and terms of logical instructions (actually it is more than a guide, because in the booklet also a lot of knowledge is the way around the topic of wind power provides) through different phases of experimentation, trial and error and constructing:

1. The wind power plant
In the wind power generating (here is explained in the introduction, which is wind power)
Build the Wind Power Plant
Based on the very well-illustrated guide its own power plant is built. The individual components work according to the "plug-in box principle" similar to Lego. Who here already brings construction experience, for the construction of the power plant is simple and even without the parents in my opinion, help already with 10/11 doable years (my daughter is 11 years old and has no problems hingekriegt)
The wind power plant in detail (using a large figure will vary declared parts of a wind power plant)

2. Experiments with the wind power plant
The experimental setup of all experiments is most exactly described and explained well understood. So the principle of the wind power plant can be understood and experienced by trial and error.

Experiment 1: Here, the wind power plant with the help of a ventilator is first met (order to understand it better)
Experiment 2: Optimize the power generated (eg by changing the angular position of the rotor blades)
A kompaker and clearer knowledge part on wind power and its use is inserted between attempts (two A4 pages)
Experiment 3: operate the wind power plant in the open (in this case it should be noted that all parts must be protected from moisture and frost, to prevent damage to the electrical system)
Experiment 4: The Wind Power Plant optimally position (here wind conditions and wind direction are involved and a good location determined)
Test 5: The use of wind power plant as a fan (The effect of the wind power plant will be put into this experiment under the microscope)
Another short part of knowledge about energy systems and electric mobility leads into the next big topic

3. Wind energy mobilizes
The issue of mobility by means of wind power will be explained on the basis of different models. The great thing: If you have recharged the battery by means of the wind power plant, can be prepared from the components of the power plant by converting different vehicle models, which in turn can then be operated by means of batteries. In this way, the benefits of this recovered energy for the children will be immediately and directly experienced.

The following models can be built:
A Elektordreirad
An electric car
A Elektorhubschrauber
An electric truck

My daughter has built the wind turbine alone, and already carried out the first tests. Even outdoors we "rotate" the windmill to put (though the wind was really not so lush, it still has good shot).

The wind turbine is really very large (amount: Including Wing 90cm, length of a wing: 40cm), all components can be easily and well plugging.

The manual provides a great deal of knowledge and encourages the experimentation and practice. It's great that not only a battery can be charged, but this can also be used for the same mobile models.
The entire set can be as often as you apart and reassemble it affects high-quality workmanship and can therefore also be "passed down" to younger siblings.

CONCLUSION:
A really great set, imparts knowledge and makes up a lot of fun, hours of experimentation is here guaranteed. For children over 10 years, but also for older children (my son, 14 years this set will also like, because so can knowledge be understood to renewables playful) interesting and fully recommended.
