HAMPDEN H-WPG-1B Wind power generator --Experimental/Teaching System. Reno,NV

HAMPDEN H-WPG-1B Wind power generator (60âx30x62") This system consists of a wind source, a four bladed DC wind generator, control panel and base assembly. No casters ! The system uses a variable voltage source to turn on the blower to generate wind. The blower has a speed controller used to control the voltage generated by the turbine and a hand crank located at the bottom to change the angle of the wind coming from the blower. This system can be used for four main experiments: varying wind speed, wind speed measurements, varying wind angle, varying wind angle and speed. Purpose The Hampden Model H-WPG-1B Wind Powered Generator has been designed to provide the student with the basic understanding of how wind generators function as an alternate source of energy. This system consists of a wind source, an AC generator, control panel with internal battery and base assembly. Description The Hampden Model H-WPG-1B Wind Powered Generator will supply the wind source that will operate the wind turbine. The output of the wind turbine is used to charge a 12 VDC battery mounted inside the control panel. The output of the wind turbine will change depending on the status of the battery. If the battery is fully discharge the full output of the wind turbine will be reached. The terminals of the battery are terminated at the (2) jacks located on the control panel. At this point they can be converted to AC by an internal inverter. By patching the DC jacks to the input jacks of the inverter. Wind Source The Wind Source consists of a steel enclosed blower which produces a high velocity air flow stream. The blower can be adjusted into different positions to show the effect of different air streams. The enclosure incorporates expanded metal end sections for safety. Wind Generator Mounted within the enclosure is a wind turbine with exposed internal workings and with the following specs: Rotor Diameter: 24 inches Start-up Wind Speed: 7 mph Rated Power: 400 watts at 28 mph Regulator Set Range: 12 VDC The enclosure is provided with (2) Lexan observation windows. The turbine is fully enclosed for safety purposes. Control Panel The Control Panel consists of a main AC circuit breaker, blower speed control, wind turbine output voltage and current meters, four Hampden HR-1S color coded socket receptacles connected to an internal DC to AC inverter, and two Hampden HR-1S color coded socket receptacles connected to an internal battery. Bench Assembly The Bench Assembly supports the previous sections. This assembly contains a 1-3/4" edge grain maple to with steel legs and 4 swivel castors.
