pre-task detail
You have selected Task 26: Make the windmill turn…
This task demonstrates the power of wind energy.
In order to complete it, we reckon you’ll need at least 3 springs, a generator and 2 cogs.
If you can complete the task with less gadgets than this, we’ll award you 50 credits.
If you can complete the task with the same number of gadgets, we’ll award you 20 credits
Go to it!
Explainer Vicky says:
“This task looksquite simple, but the thing to remember is thatwind energy isn’t terriblyefficient. Make sure youchoose your gadgets withcare. If you need help withhow best to conserveenergy, you’ll find somehelpful stuff here...”

In this video you can see the Jackman generator in action on board HMS Exmoor. Here, the generator is diesel powered.
Generators in this environment need to be quiet, efficient and reasonably pollution free. Find out about how this achieved
