WindReady-to-go is delivered in a sturdy aluminum case and includes the components of leXsolar-Wind Large, the extensions for measuring without measuring devices and an anemometer, as well as all additional devices such as measuring instruments and cables. Like leXsolar-Wind Large, this system leaves no questions unanswered regarding the physical principles of wind energy utilization. leXsolar-Wind Ready-to-go is also suitable for use in in-house training courses and for demonstration purposes in sales.
Most experiments are available in various difficulty levels. Experience-oriented experiments involving the motor, LED, or horn consumer modules are suitable for students in grade 5 and above. For secondary school students, primarily quantitative experiments of low complexity are available. The experiments for secondary school students, on the other hand, require a high degree of experimental skill, and the evaluations require more basic knowledge of physics.
