PicoTurbine Windmill Kit V2 is a fully functioning Savonius wind turbine. It stands 8" tall and produces between 2.0-3.0 volts which is enough to light up a bicolor LED (included). The LED flashes red and green to show the alternating current produced.

The kit can be easily built in less than one hour. With some adult supervision the kit can be built by children as young as 10 years old.

Included in the PicoTurbine Windmill Kit V2

  • 4 pre-wound coils of enamel coated copper wire

  • 4 ceramic grade-5 magnets

  • 1 (5 1/4”) disk

  • 1 bicolor light emitting diode (LED) with 2 leads

  • 1 (1/2”) Phillips head (cross slot) screw

  • 1 eye-hook screw

  • 1 wooden dowel

  • 1 piece of wood about 6” by 6” and ½” thick (for the base)

  • 1 strip of double-sided tape

  • 1 small piece of sandpaper for stripping the copper wire
  • Manual and Template

PicoTurbine Windmill Kit V2 is an upgraded version of the original PicoTurbine which has been used by tens of thousands of students, homeschoolers, and even adult hobbyists to learn about Savonius Vertical Axis wind power. It’s perfect for teaching about Wind Energy in the classroom.


TThe Rectification kit and the Windmill kit come packaged together.

The kit includes all parts that you will need:

Each kit includes all parts that you will need:

  • 4 light emitting diode (LED) with 2 leads

  • 2 electrolytic capacitors

  • 1 piezo buzzer

  • A solderless breadboard and 8 jumper wires

  • Instructions booklet includes teacher's guide and technical notes. The guide shows you how to build 4 different circuits and test them.
  • Circuits explained include:

  • A simple half-wave rectifier,
  • A half-wave rectifier with smoothing capacitors,
  • A full wave "bridge" rectifier with and without smoothing, and
  • A voltage doubling rectifier.
  • Many adults who are considering home power systems will profit from the lessons taught by these simple experiments. Each experiment takes from 10 to 15 minutes to perform, a perfect length of time for classroom use.


    With the The Intermediate Deluxe Solar Educational Kit you can now develop a very unique science fair project by combining it with the PicoTurbine Windmill or PicoTurbine Windmill & DC Experiments. At the same time your child will acquire the basic knowledge of solar energy. Includes manual guide.

    1. When you place the solar cell module under direct sunlight, it generates power comparable to batteries. Discover how to harness solar energy and apply to countless practical applications.

    2. Students can do series of do-it-yourself experiments to acquire the basic knowledge of solar energy.
