Airflow Generator

Product Code : SCL-EI-10590

Quick answer: The Airflow Generator 220 V is a bench-top apparatus that produces a directed, low-turbulence air stream (approx. 14 m/s, through a 90 x 90mm outlet) for classroom experiments on lift, drag, pressure difference and flow behaviour. It runs on 230V AC at 65W and is commonly paired with wing profiles, propellers and flight/flying experiment sets.

Key Features

• Produces directed, low-turbulence airflow for aerodynamics experiments
• Maximum air-flow speed of approximately 14 m/s
• 90 x 90mm outlet opening supports model and wing-profile demonstrations
• Radial blower in metal housing supports durable classroom use
• Long flow straightener helps produce a more uniform air stream
• Usable in horizontal and vertical operating positions
• Intake cover disc allows wind-speed regulation during experiments

What's Included

• Airflow generator unit, 220V
• Radial blower in metal housing
• Suction opening with intake cover disc
• Long flow straightener
• Base plate with switch

• Operating instructions

Applications / Uses

• Creating airflow for school aerodynamics experiments
• Demonstrating dynamic lift on wing profiles
• Comparing drag on different shapes and bodies
• Studying airflow around propellers, rotors and model aircraft parts
• Supporting Bernoulli principle and pressure-difference demonstrations
• Testing flight and flying experiment accessories
• Providing controlled wind input for mechanics and STEM investigations

How to Use the Airflow Generator 220 V

• Place the airflow generator on a stable, dry laboratory bench
• Position the model, wing profile or drag body in front of the 90 x 90mm outlet
• Check that the intake and outlet are clear before switching on the unit
• Connect the mains cord to a suitable 230V AC supply
• Switch on the generator and regulate the airflow using the intake cover disc
• Observe lift, drag, airflow path, pressure effect or model movement
• Switch off the unit before changing models or repositioning accessories

Safety note: Use the unit under teacher supervision. Keep fingers, loose clothing, paper and small objects away from the intake and outlet. Disconnect from mains power before cleaning or adjustment.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the intake opening, outlet and flow straightener free from dust
• Check the mains cord, switch and housing before each practical session
• Store the unit in a dry area away from water and chemical vapours
• Do not block the suction opening or operate the blower with loose parts nearby

Pairing with Flight and Aerodynamics Experiments

The Airflow Generator 220 V is designed to work alongside dedicated aerodynamics teaching sets. It provides the controlled wind source needed for the Experiment Kit Flight/Flying, allowing students to test lift, drag and recoil principles with a repeatable air stream rather than relying on unpredictable manual airflow.
