Use the Smart Meter - Data Loggerto make quick and easy measurements of solar,
wind and fuel cell electrical data. Voltage, current, load resistance, power
and energy are displayed on the top line. with data logging features displayed
on the bottom line. Use indoor or outdoor. Stand alone or with your computer.
USB cable and 9-volt battery included.
The CREEK - Classroom Renewable Energy Education Kit combines
all of our solar, wind, hydrogen and other components into a fully functional,
integrated teaching aid. It is based on our
Smart Meter - Data Loggerthat
measures and records all electrical data like voltage, current, resistance,
power and energy. The Smart Meter - Data Logger can be used by itself or
connected to your computer. It features both indoor and outdoor operation
and has a host of other features. Lessons included.
With the Solar Panel Interface
connected to your computer,
you can determine Maximum Power Point, the effects of shading, heat and tilt
angle on up to two solar panels in series or parallel. Switch between series and
parallel without rewiring. Makes for easy comparison between either
hookup. Works with any solar
panel up to 28 volts and 1 amp. Measures voltage, current, power and load
resistance. Series-Parallel switch makes hookups easy and allows more time for
experiments. USB cable and variable load resistor included.
Solar Panels need direct sunlight - they do not
work well in indoor light!!
Quick Look
User Manual
The Double Wide Sun Tracker Kit is for experimenting with two
solar panels while keeping them always pointed at the sun. This allows solar
experiments to take full advantage of the sun’s constant energy. The Double
Wide Sun Tracker Kit light sensor output moves the motor so the twin solar
panels follow the sun all day long. Connect the solar panels to the Smart
Meter- Data Logger and record the performance of the sun over multiple days
for studying how clouds and other weather affect solar output. . The Double Wide Sun Tracker Kit comes
with fans, lights, music box and clip leads which allows you to do a variety of
experiments.
Transform this
already remarkable wind-based educational device into a model 3-phase wind
turbine using our WindLab 3-Phase
Interface Board. The triangular circuit board fits perfectly inside the plastic
housing
and captures the 3-phase electrical output of the wind turbine's alternator for
analysis and display on your computer. Custom USB cable, capacitor and resistor loads included.
Designed around a
regular roof ventilator our Whirlybird Wind Turbine Kit
is a rugged, outdoor 3-phase wind turbine that you build then attach to your
computer for experiments. With its great bearings the Whirlybird Wind
Turbine creates electricity in the slightest winds and can withstand hurricane
winds!
Assembly required. Used with the
3-Phase Bar Graph Board
(below) for graphic display and computer interface.
Attach the
3-Phase Bar Graph Board to the Whirlybird
Wind Turbine Kit (above) and watch
the three phase voltage outputs flash up and down as the turbine spins.
Each LED represents 1 or 2 volts depending on the switch setting. It also displays the
rectified DC voltage. Connect it to your computer to see the voltage, current,
power and RPM on full-color plots. Use with or without a computer - indoors
with USB power or outdoors with a regular 9-volt battery.
The Fuel Cell
Interface is unique in that no other product has the ability to allow a
reversible PEM fuel cell to be electrolyzed then discharged into a load at the push of a button.
Plots Electrolysis and Fuel Cell modes. Experiments include water
decomposition, efficiencies and more. Uses any reversible PEM fuel cell from
h-tec, Heliocentris or Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. Can be used with
fuel cell stacks like those from Parker. USB cable included.
