Description: HAMPDEN H-WPG-1B Wind power generator (60”x30x62") 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. PurposeThe Hampden Model H-WPG-1B Wind Powered Generatorhas been designed to provide the student with the basic understanding of how wind generators function as an alternatesource of energy. This system consists of a wind source,an AC generator, control panel with internal battery and baseassembly.DescriptionThe Hampden Model H-WPG-1B Wind Powered Generator willsupply the wind source that will operate the wind turbine. Theoutput of the wind turbine is used to charge a 12 VDC batterymounted inside the control panel. The output of the wind turbine will change depending on the status of the battery. If thebattery is fully discharge the full output of the wind turbine willbe reached. The terminals of the battery are terminated at the(2) jacks located on the control panel. At this point they can beconverted to AC by an internal inverter. By patching the DCjacks to the input jacks of the inverter.Wind SourceThe Wind Source consists of a steel enclosed blower whichproduces a high velocity air flow stream. The blower can beadjusted into different positions to show the effect of differentair streams. The enclosure incorporates expanded metal endsections for safety. Wind GeneratorMounted within the enclosure is a wind turbine with exposedinternal workings and with the following specs:Rotor Diameter: 24 inchesStart-up Wind Speed: 7 mphRated Power: 400 watts at 28 mphRegulator Set Range: 12 VDCThe enclosure is provided with (2) Lexan observation windows.The turbine is fully enclosed for safety purposes. Control PanelThe Control Panel consists of a main AC circuit breaker, blowerspeed control, wind turbine output voltage and current meters,four Hampden HR-1S color coded socket receptacles connectedto an internal DC to AC inverter, and two Hampden HR-1Scolor coded socket receptacles connected to an internal battery. Bench AssemblyThe Bench Assembly supports the previous sections. Thisassembly contains a 1-3/4" edge grain maple to with steel legsand 4 swivel castors.Services RequiredVoltage: 120V AC, 1Ø, 60HzOptions† H-WPG-FP Electrical Fault option† H-WPG-P Pump option† H-WPG-CDL Computer Data Logging option - Consisting of ahand held anemometer with realtime data logging capability.
