Wind Turbine
Wind Turbine exhibit is an innovative and interactive experience that allows visitors to explore the principles of wind energy generation in a hands-on and engaging way. This exhibit features a rotating circular disc at its core, and an old-fashioned wind turbine at the top, brings to life the process of generating electricity through the power of the wind.
The Wind Turbine Exhibit is a captivating blend of education and interactivity. At its center is a circular disc that visitors can freely rotate. As they spin the disc, an old-fashioned wind turbine comes to life, and the generated wind energy is visually represented through the illumination of lights on the shaft, floor, and top of the exhibit.
Visitor Experience
As you step into the Wind Turbine exhibit, you’ll encounter two imposing giant wind sources, their direction under your command. These towering structures symbolize the incredible potential of wind energy, and you hold the key to unlocking it.
In the heart of the exhibit lies a desk adorned with two car models and tracks. Your mission is simple: harness the power of the wind to propel these cars forward. When you direct one of the wind sources toward a wind turbine, it comes to life, generating power that races through the track and accelerates the corresponding car.
It’s a race against the wind as you compete with fellow visitors or challenge yourself to master the art of wind engineering. The cars zoom forward, racing toward the finish line. But there’s a twist—once a car reaches its destination, it gracefully returns to the starting point, ready for another thrilling race.
The Wind Turbine exhibit offers an engaging and educational experience that highlights the potential of renewable energy while providing visitors with an exhilarating way to interact with the power of the wind.
