Vocational Orientation – 8. Renewable energies
Description:
The question “How would you store renewable energy?” shall be answered by experimenting.

One item deals with „Technical application and vocational orientation“.

Information and ideas:
• Do not short-circuit the Gold Cap capacitor. Take care that the alligator clips do not touch when connecting them to the Gold Cap capacitor. Connect the positive pole only to the positive pole, and the negative pole to the negative pole. If you are not sure pole of your wind turbine is positive, test the polarity with a digital multimeter.
