With the PicoTurbine Windmill Kit V2 you will build a fully functioning, electricity-producing scale model of a Savonius wind turbine.
It 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 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
Its perfect for teaching about Wind Energy in the classroom.
Extraordinary for energy science fair projects, science reports, or just plain fun!

With the Intermediate Deluxe Solar Education Kit you can now develop a novel science fair project by combining solar with the PicoTurbine Windmill or PicoTurbine Windmill & DC Experiments to develop a hybrid green source of energy.
1. When you place the solar cell module under direct sunlight, it generates power comparable to batteries. You will acquire the basic knowledge of solar energy that you will be able to use in your everyday life.
2. Students can do series of do-it-yourself experiments to acquire the basic knowledge of solar energy.

The Cen-Tech Multimeter is excellent for measuring your output of electricity from all of the PicoTurbines Science Kits. It displays AC millivolts, adds another dimension to your experiments, and helps to tune the alternator.
You will get accurate readings for DC voltage, DC current, AC voltage, resistance, transistor test, diode test, and battery test. Easy-to-read 3-1/2 digit LCD readout, positive set selector switch, and 32" leads. Automatic zero adjust Overange indicator 2.5x second sample time Low battery indicator Fuse and diode protected circuit.

The 10 BioColor LEDs alternate between red and green depending on direction of current flow, making them an excellent accessory for alternating current. They can also be used to show the increase in outage of electricity.
|
More magnets and coils creates more friction
which in turn creates more "static electricity"
which in turn creates more voltage. As the project increases you also lose about 1/3 of the voltage increase.
|
An extra 1 Package of 4 Ceramic Grade-5 Magnets pack of 4-ceramic grade-5 magnets can be used to to scale up PicoTurbine in your own experiments. This means you will be able to create a larger magnetic field.
WARNING!
A person who wears a pace-maker must not come anywhere near these magnets.

1 extra package of 4 Coils consists of approximately 300 turns of enamel coated magnet wire, measure approximately 2" x 1" by 1/4" thick, weigh about 1 ounce or [28 grams] and have a resistance of approximately 8 ohms. The coils come preassembled which will save your hours of work.
|
Tidbit: Did you know that an average home has more than enough roof area to produce enough solar electricity to supply all of its power needs?
Warning for all kits on this page.

Note: The multimeter, magnets, coils
and LEDs come assembled. You
receive parts to build the other items
pictured on this page.
