What can visitors do with the embedded Wind Turbine Energy Lab?

They press "Play day" to run a day of wind and watch the rotor spin, then use sliders to set the wind speed, rotor diameter, power coefficient Cp, air density and drivetrain efficiency, and the cut-in, rated and cut-out speeds. A second panel adds a battery: set its capacity, the load and the mean wind, and the state of charge fills and drains as the day plays.

What does the Wind Turbine Energy Lab teach?

It shows why a turbine can never capture all the wind. A stacked bar splits the wind’s kinetic power into the Betz-unreachable share (the ~59.3% ceiling), the power-coefficient shortfall, the drivetrain loss and the net electrical capture, while the power curve rises with the cube of wind speed to the rated power, then flattens to cut-out. A half-dial gauge reads the live output.

Is embedding the Wind Turbine Energy Lab free?

Yes. It is free to embed on any site, with no account, no API key and no usage limits. The whole simulation runs in your visitor’s own browser, so there is no server cost — we only ask that you keep the small "Wind Turbine Energy Lab by LK Forge" credit line that comes with the embed code.

Where can I embed it — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Notion?

Anywhere you can add HTML, because it is a standard iframe. In WordPress use a Custom HTML block; in Squarespace a Code/Embed block; in Wix an Embed HTML element; in Ghost an HTML card; in Notion paste the /embed/wind-turbine/ URL as an embed. On a plain HTML page or an intranet, paste the snippet straight into the markup.

Does the embedded lab track visitors or set cookies?

No. Everything runs locally in the visitor’s browser — nothing is uploaded. The embed sets no tracking cookies and sends no analytics, so it is safe to place on a privacy-sensitive site, an intranet, or a page for students.

How to Add a Wind Turbine Energy Lab to Your Website

LK Forge · 4 min read · Updated September 2026

You can add a full wind turbine energy lab to any website, blog, or classroom page with a single line of code — free, with no sign-up, no plugin, and no script to install. Visitors press play to run a day of wind, adjust the turbine and read its power off a live dashboard, and see why no turbine can ever beat the Betz limit — the ~59.3% ceiling on how much of the wind’s kinetic energy a rotor can extract. This guide covers the fastest way to embed the Wind Turbine Energy Lab, what it shows, and where it works.

The quickest way: paste one embed snippet

An embed is just an <iframe> that loads the lab from lkforge.com, plus a small credit line. Copy this into your page’s HTML where you want the widget to appear:

<iframe src="https://lkforge.com/embed/wind-turbine/"
        width="100%" height="2020" loading="lazy"
        style="border:0;max-width:720px"
        title="Wind Turbine Energy Lab by LK Forge"></iframe>
<p><a href="https://lkforge.com/tools/physics/wind-turbine/">Wind Turbine Energy Lab</a>
   by <a href="https://lkforge.com/">LK Forge</a></p>

The <iframe> is the live lab; the <p> underneath is a plain credit link. Keep that line — the visible link is what keeps the widget free to embed. You can also copy this exact code straight from the LK Forge widget gallery.

What the widget shows

The lab opens on a spinning turbine over a sky-and-ground scene, so a visitor sees the motion immediately and can then take control:

Play the day: press Play day and the rotor spins while the battery panel charges and drains against the load.
Turbine sliders: set wind speed, rotor diameter, power coefficient Cp, air density and drivetrain efficiency, plus the cut-in, rated and cut-out speeds.
Power curve & gauge: the power curve rises with the cube of wind speed to the rated plateau, and a half-dial gauge reads the live electrical output against the rated power.
Loss breakdown: a stacked bar splits the wind’s power into the Betz-unreachable share, the power-coefficient shortfall, the drivetrain loss and the net electrical capture.

Pick the right height

The snippet uses height="2020" and max-width:720px. This is a dashboard lab: the scene, the sliders, the two plots and the readouts stack into a single column on a narrow phone, so the tall height keeps everything from clipping there. On a wider page the widget centres within its max-width. That single height works across screen sizes, so there is nothing to tweak for mobile.

Where it works

Because it is a standard iframe, the embed works anywhere you can add HTML:

WordPress: add a Custom HTML block and paste the snippet.
Squarespace: use a Code / Embed block.
Wix: add an Embed HTML / iframe element.
Ghost: insert an HTML card.
Notion: paste the /embed/wind-turbine/ URL and choose "Create embed".
Plain HTML, an intranet, or a lesson page: paste the snippet straight into the markup.

That’s the whole job. Copy the embed code from the widget gallery and paste it wherever an energy, physics or engineering lesson — or a blog post on wind power and the Betz limit — needs a turbine students can actually run.

Grab the embed code from the LK Forge widget gallery — free, no sign-up.
