Science Fair Project Ideas
~ Compare the effectiveness of the solar motor stand angled towards the sun compared to facing the ground.
~ Compare the power of a hybrid (wind and solar) to wind energy.
Measure all voltage current with the multimeter
Exampe hypothesis: A hybrid driven windmill with the solar panels lined up parallel to each other will have more wind power than the solar panels lined up in two rows.

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. Its perfect for teaching about Wind Energy in the classroom.

This kit and the Windmill kit come packaged together.
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.

The Advanced Deluxe Solar Educational Kit teaches you how to convert sunlight into electricity. Includes manual guide.
Project Ideas
Make a solar circuit.
Make an electrical circuit.
Learn how to increase voltage.
Learn how to increase current.
Learn how to make a solar panel
Use solar power to produce the energy for a radio, calculator, battery charger or 1.5V cassette player
The solar cell comes with 8 solar cells, electric motor, propeller, buzzer, light bulb, wire and hardware.
The instruction manual teaches the concepts of solar electricity and gives experiments. Information includes how to connect solar cells to achieve variations in voltage and current, basic circuit concepts, and theory of solar cell construction.

We use solar power in two forms - thermal and photovoltaic.
Thermal concentrates sunlight, converts it into heat, and applies it to a steam generator or engine to be converted into electricity in order to warm buildings, heat water, generate electricity, dry crops or destroy dangerous waste. Electricity is generated when the heated fluid drives turbines or other machinery.
The 2nd form of solar power produces electricity directly without moving parts. Today's photovoltaic system is composed of cells made of silicon, the second most abundant element in the earth's crust. Power is produced when sunlight strikes the semiconductor material and creates an electric current. The smallest unit of the system is a cell. Cells wired together form a module, and modules wired together form a panel. A group of panels is called an array, and several arrays form an array field.
