PicoTurbine Windmill Energy Science Fair Projects Wind Turbine
Energy Science Fair Projects with the Wind Turbine PicoTurbine Windmill Kit!
Excellent for all grades 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, high school and college)
(Ages 10-12 with adult supervision)
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.
It is a great
learning tool.
Mike (parent)
The windmill kits have been used by thousands of students, home schoolers, and even adult
hobbyists to learn about wind power and do energy science fair projects.
They are used by major universities such as MIT and Caltech, as well as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for summer youth programs.
"Perfect for energy science fair projects, science reports, or just plain fun!"
Pico (pee'ko) very small
Turbine (ter'bine) a motor driven by curved vanes
"The PicoTurbine can produce 1/3 watts -- that's a lot of power when converted to education!"
Designer, J. Stephen Pendergrast.
Assemble and Experiment with a Unique
Wind Turbine experience the power of wind as a renewable energy resource.
Generator Expansions for all vertical axis wind turbine including the PicoTurbine Education Windmill Kit!
Blades & Monitors to show your output for all horizontal axis wind turbines
Computer interfaces for solar panels / fuel cells
What is the purpose of experimenting with a PicoTurbine Windmill?
Bringing forth awareness of alternative and renewable energy.
How to change wind energy into electrical energy.
How to combine solar and wind energy to create a hybrid.
To learn the 6-steps of the scientific method, which is how a powerful tool to learn in making decisions throughout our lifetime.
To experience that when you change one minute detail, whether it be the shape of a blade or a word in a sentence, then everything must change around you.
