The Vernier Energy Sensor offers an easy way to quantify voltage, current, power, and energy output of small wind turbines and solar panels such as those used in our KidWind Experiment Kits.
Use the Anemometer to measure wind speed in a variety of experiments. Hold the sensor in your hand to measure wind speed in dynamic environments or use the accessory rod to position it in front of wind tunnels or fans.
