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.
The new improved version gives you a new wood frame so now you have the ability to consistantly generate more power.
Its perfect for teaching about Wind Energy in the classroom.
This kit contains powerful magnets. People with pacemakers must not handle or go near strong magnets.

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.
