Solar Powered Wind Turbine Kit

Customer Review: Pretty good overall, but can’t use at work

The kit went together fairly easily. It doesn’t exactly snap together, but with the glue and some rubber bands to hold the pieces tightly in position, everything came out looking well and the blades could freely spin. You’ll have to study the instructions closely to make sense of the pictures.

Under the product description, it states the turbine will also work under desk light, but I could not get the blades to turn until the solar chip was about 6 inches away from a bright incandescent light bulb. We don’t have that kind of desk lighting at work, so I was a little disappointed that I will not be able to use the turbine at my desk as I had intended.

Customer Review: Model Wind Turbine Kit

We have purchased many of these small model wind turbines, many of which have run flawlessly for over 5 years. They are available in kit form that require you to assemble and glue, as with many models. We have had no trouble with our young children putting them together, although the glue is strong and proper ventilation is required. As with many models you need to trim the plastic pieces. Using twist ties helps hold the tower together during assembly. They can also be purchased completely assembled from some suppliers, if you are not a model builder. If they are not in direct sunlight, or if you push the propellers on too tightly they will not spin. The propeller hub will then need to be pulled out slightly to allow for free movement. They are great for model train setups and are a great introduction to wind and solar energy. Don’t expect them to power your house; they are just models.
