🗣️’’5.41 volts. You tilt the blades to get the right angle.” Lewis and Ronnie age 9.
The Equinor team are kicking off a range of activities around Norfolk, starting with 1st Mulbarton Cubs. Huge thanks to Ross McMillan from the Greater Wash base for getting the kids inspired for their scientist badge:
💨 Measuring wind speed with an anemometer
👷Constructing turbines with Wind for Kids kits from Skills for Energy
📐Pacing out the huge scale of a blade
🐟 Discussing why we work with Marine Biologists
🧗Trying on a real tech’s (decommissioned) climbing kit
⚡️Testing how many volts our turbines generate
🔧 Handling a real cable
🛳️ Running around in a maritime themed game!
They asked tricky questions like: How much do you earn? What’s the best food on the SOV? How fast does the wind have to blow to break a turbine? What does it cost to buy a turbine?
It was great to see an energetic group of kids enthralled in their task, building a wind farm in the scout hut. Thank you to Suzanne Allen (Greening) for sharing your Skills for Energy kit from EEEGR (East of England Energy Group) including the brilliant OffshoreWind4Kids resources.
