Development of Educational Materials Savonius Type Windmill Aerogenerator Using Handmade Generator

Abstract

The civic attention to renewable energy becomes higher and higher after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Moreover, corresponding to such needs, the energy and environmental education also becomes necessary and important. Therefore, we developed the Savonius type windmill aerogenerator as energy and environmental education teaching materials, and used that developed teaching materials for children and teachers of elementary, junior high, and high school as teaching materials. We conducted the questionnaire survey on them and evaluated this developed teaching materials in this case. As a result, we understood, this developed teaching material had high efficiency on studying energy and environmental education. In this paper, the windmill aerogenerator developed by our research and its evaluations are reported.
