Is electricity infinite? Of course it’s not. Though for kids aged 5-7, understanding this isn’t so easy. Turbino combines the familiarity of the classic pinwheel toy with a little bit of electricity education to teach kids that electricity does indeed have its limits. After all, it’s never too early to start using electricity more responsibly.

Action is Energy. Energy is Electricity:
Turbino works when you move and doesn’t when you don’t, or just hold it to the wind. It’s just that simple. This teaches kids that without action there is no reaction -- in this case electricity.
