Renewable Energy
Green Technologies
Renewable energy is energy collected that is replenished on a human timescale. The industry is rapidly growing around the world as more nations turn their energy dependence to these renewable sources.
Renewables or green technologies, generally cover four areas: electricity generation, air and water heating and cooling, transportation and off-grid energy requirements. The sources of renewable energy are often derived from sunlight, wind, water (hydro, tidal or wave energy) and geothermal.
TecQuipment's renewable energy range covers the principles behind the technology that facilitates this industry. Our Fluid Mechanics range covers areas of turbines and water flow, Thermodynamics investigates topics such as heat transfer and thermoelectricity and the Theory of Machines range provides a background to the mechanical principles that support the industry, such as gears and shafts.
The Solar range looks directly at thermal and photovoltaic solar energy principles.

Featured Products
DefleX Starter Kit
A simple system for introducing students to the concept of digital image correlation (DIC)
10 x 0.3 x 0.45 Metre Flume
A 300 mm wide, 5 to 15 m long flume for student study and advanced research into a wide range of fluid flow topics. A huge range of ancillaries are available to extend learning potential and offers the opportunity for innovative experimentation.
DefleX-2D
An entry-level digital image correlation (DIC) system to teach students how to measure and visualise surface deformations, strains and displacements in materials and shapes.
DefleX-3D
An integrated digital image correlation system for measuring full-field displacements and strains over a material’s surface in three dimensions.
DefleX-3D is ideal for material science, structural engineering and general mechanical engineering courses.
Hydro-Electric Turbine
AE1000V - Experiment
The TecQuipment Hydro-Electric Turbine is a versatile, floor-standing, self-contained apparatus for demonstration of hydro-electricity. It is supplied with five different propellers. The product focuses on exploring the best efficiency point of different propellers and perform energy audits to analyse system performance.
Wind Turbine Dynamics
AE1005V - Experiment
This is a versatile, compact apparatus for teaching the fundamentals of kinetic wind energy conversion into electrical power. Flexibility is at the core, it has a castor-mounted frame for mobility and functionality and allows students to 3D-print their own blades for advanced experimentation.
