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!
All you must provide are some easily found tools and materials:
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.
With the Deluxe Solar Educational Kit you can now develop a very unique science fair project by combining it with the PicoTurbine Windmill. Includes manual guide. You will have to come up with your own experiment on how to combine the solar kit with the windmill kit.
Optional: A simple Digital Multimeter can be used to take measurements of electric output and a PC spreadsheet program can be used to produce charts and graphs of the results, resulting in a great presentation.
