Savonius Rotor Experiment Set

Product Code : SCL-EI-10594

Lab Glassware Manufacturer, based in Ambala, Haryana, India, has been manufacturing and exporting laboratory, scientific and educational equipment since 1982. The Savonius Rotor Experiment Set is supplied to school physics and STEM labs, and to export buyers across Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, for wind-energy and renewable-energy teaching.

Quick answer: The Savonius Rotor Experiment Set is a configurable vertical-axis wind-turbine apparatus (120 x 125mm rotor) that can be built with 2, 3 or 4 blades across 3 blade-angle positions, giving 9 test configurations. Magnets in the rotor base induce voltage through stator coils, lighting an LED to show electrical output as students compare rotor efficiency under a controlled airflow source such as the Airflow Generator 220V.

Key Features

• Configurable Savonius rotor set for renewable-energy experiments
• Supports 2-blade, 3-blade and 4-blade rotor configurations
• Blade angle can be adjusted in 3 different positions
• Provides 9 rotor configurations for efficiency comparison
• Rotor base includes magnets for induced-voltage demonstrations
• Integrated coils in the stator support electromagnetic induction experiments
• LED output gives a visible indication of generated electrical energy

What's Included in the Kit

• 1 configurable Savonius rotor with magnets
• 1 rotor base with integrated coils
• 1 LED
• Instruction manual

Note: an airflow generator or wind source is required to operate the rotor and should be confirmed as included or separately supplied before ordering.

Applications / Uses

• Studying vertical-axis wind turbine operation
• Comparing rotor efficiency with 2, 3 and 4 blades
• Testing the effect of blade angle on rotor performance
• Demonstrating electromagnetic induction from rotor motion
• Showing conversion of kinetic wind energy into electrical energy
• Using LED output as a visible energy-conversion indicator
• Supporting renewable-energy and alternative-energy classroom projects

How to Use the Savonius Rotor Experiment Set

• Place the rotor base on a stable laboratory bench
• Configure the Savonius rotor with 2, 3 or 4 blades
• Set the blade angle to the selected test position
• Expose the rotor to a controlled airflow or suitable wind source
• Observe rotor speed and LED response from the induced voltage
• Repeat the experiment with other blade numbers and blade-angle settings
• Compare the 9 configurations and record which arrangement gives the best output

Safety note: Use the set under teacher supervision. Keep fingers, loose clothing and small objects away from the rotating rotor, and switch off any airflow source before changing the blade arrangement.

Care & Maintenance

• Store the rotor blades, base and LED in a dry compartment after use
• Check blade seating and rotor balance before each experiment
• Do not force blade-angle adjustments beyond the intended positions
• Keep magnets away from magnetic cards, electronic storage media and sensitive instruments

Pairing with an Airflow Source and Other Renewable Energy Kits

The Savonius Rotor requires a controlled wind source to operate, and the Airflow Generator 220V is the manufacturer's recommended companion apparatus for this purpose, providing the steady low-turbulence airflow needed for repeatable rotor-efficiency comparisons. For a broader renewable-energy teaching module, this set can be taught alongside the Wind Turbine to Energy Transfer Generator and the Photovoltaic Basic Set to compare wind and solar energy conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Savonius Rotor Experiment Set used for?
The Savonius Rotor Experiment Set is used to study vertical-axis wind turbine operation, rotor efficiency, blade number, blade angle and wind-energy conversion.

How many rotor configurations can students test?
Students can test 9 configurations by combining 2-, 3- and 4-blade rotor versions with 3 blade-angle positions.

Does the kit generate electricity?
Yes. Magnets in the rotor base induce voltage through integrated coils in the stator, and the LED provides a visible output indication.

What are the rotor dimensions?
The confirmed rotor dimensions are 120 x 125mm, measured as diameter x height.

Is an airflow generator included?
The verified supply scope lists the rotor, rotor base with coils, LED and instructions. An airflow generator or wind source should be confirmed separately before order placement.

Are certifications confirmed for this product?
No product-specific certification is confirmed in the verified source data. Tender compliance, safety declarations and material details should be checked before procurement.
