Testimonial

I was most impressed that the project lends itself to be questioned and gives the kids a chance to create their own working designs and improvements. Not that it is a bad design at all, it just is a great learning tool.

Assemble and Experiment with a Unique Wind Turbine
and experience the power of wind
as a renewable energy resource.

With the PicoTurbine Windmill Kit will build a fully functioning, electricity-producing scale model of a wind turbine. Here are 24 outstanding energy science fair projects - for individuals and classroom - that you can do with the windmill kit.


Standing 8 inches tall, it produces between 1.7 and 2.5 volts, enough to light up a bicolor LED (included) that flashes red and green to show the alternating current produced.

The kit can be easily built in under one hour, less time if used as a group project. Children as young as 10 years old can build the project with some adult supervision.

PicoTurbine is the only kit of its kind to demonstrate the power of wind as a renewable energy resource. The instructor's guide contains classroom ideas and experiments, as well as technical notes for older children or adult experimenters.

This kit has been used by thousands of students, home schoolers, and even adult hobbiests to learn about wind power and do energy science fair projects. It's been used by major universities such as MIT and Caltech, as well as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for summer youth programs. It's perfect for energy science fair projects, science reports, or just plain fun!

Energy Science Fair Projects - Experiments
Test different wind turbine blade configurations, various generator components, the effects of changing wind speeds, or other experiments that are only limited by your imagination.


Each kit includes all the parts you need:

  • Four strong magnets (ceramic grade 5 1"x1.75"x0.25")
  • Approximately 400 feet of 28 AWG magnet wire, pre-wound into four coils. This saves about 30 minutes from typical project build time over wrapping your own!
  • two feet of 10 gauge aluminum wire for the yoke
  • One bi-color LED (red and green)
  • A piece of wooden dowel 8 inches long used as the axel.
  • A 5" by 8" piece of plywood used as a base for the project.
  • Instruction booklet, including teacher's guide and technical notes.
  • Paper templates for cardboard cutout pieces

All you must provide are some easily found tools and materials:

  • Gluestick or glue

  • A screwdriver and scissors

    For the more advanced middle school student and high school student, the PicoTurbine DC Experiment Kit, an add-on to the windmill kit, provides lots of fun challenges. Although the DC Experiments kit is optional, its purpose is to convert the AC power you produce with either the windmill or solar kit into DC power used to charge batteries and etc. With it you will be able to make a "full circle project". Includes 12 page manual guide.

    For instance, with the DC experiments, and blade design: the blade offset can be increased or decreased, or the shape altered, the results tested and compared -- an excellent science fair project.
