Let’s make a wind turbine in December

Catching the winds of change, Sri Lanka turns toward a cleaner tomorrow.From Mannar's windswept shores to Hambantota's sunny plains, we harness nature's power. Each turbine represents our commitment to renewable energy, and every revolution of rotor blades brings us closer to an energy-independent future.

PART 10

37

To assemble the wind turbine, you will need a full-length pencil and a rubber band.

38

Put the rubber band on the pencil about one third of the way down from the blunt end, making it a little tight but moveable.

39

Put the blunt end of the pencil into your fan through the hole you used to inflate it.

40

Yon can now balance the fan on the base and your wind turbine is complete! Hold the pencil and blow on the turbine to make it spin!
