Storage of electrical energy from wind energy with the aid of a rechargeable battery

Principle

Accumulators exist at different states of charge. Before you begin with the experiment, make sure that the accumulator's charge is low enough so that the glow lamp does not glow at the beginning of the experiment. If it glows, the accu can be discharged rather quickly via the 6-V-glow lamp. Alternatively, the accumulator may be unloaded to such an extent, that a recharge time of 3 minutes is not enough. In this case the recharge time must be increased.

Benefits

• Experiment is part of a complete solution set with a total of 26 experiments for Renewable Energy solar cells, wind power, water power
• Safe experimentation: The fan in the blower is protected against touch
• The power supply used is versatile and is particularly suitable for pupil tests for all ages

Tasks
