Wind Turbine Windmill Farm
& DC Rectifier
Science Fair Projects Kit

A site must have a minimum annual average wind speed in the neighborhood of 11-13 mph to even be considered.

Local weather data available from airports and meteorological stations may provide some insight as to averages.

Concerns are arising as to the ecological effect on land and landscape. Also, what impact do wind farms have on the health of all living things?

Rectification DC Experiments Kit
Includes 12 page manual guide.

The 3rd image on the right at the top of the page comes with a rectification kit.

Each of the 3 PicoTurbine’s is a is a fully functioning Savonius wind turbine v2. All stand 8" tall and produces between 2.0-3.0 volts; each have 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. Imagine combining all of those volts and see what you can power! This package teaches the following: ~ Building Vertical axis Windmills from the ground up ~ How Windmills work together on a Wind Farm to generate a lot more power ~ Hot to convert alternating currents (AC) produced by the generator into     Direct Current (DC) ~ The difference between AC and DC power The PicoTurbine Vertical Axis Windmill Farm contains the following: 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

The Rectification kit comes with step by step instructions. It performs Rectification to DC or recifies a component of an electric circuit used to change alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is needed for electronic devices. You will learn how to convert electricity from AC to DC using the following circuit possibilities: half wave rectifier, smoothing capacitors, full wave rectifiers, and voltage doubler rectifier. The kit uses a safe solderless breadboard allowing for penalty free mistakes and countless customizable circuits. No soldering is required, because the kit includes a solderless breadboard and jumper wires. Just follow the simple instructions to connect together the parts and perform the experiments! The kit includes all parts that you will need: Each kit includes all parts that you will need: 4 light emitting diode (LED) with 2 leads 2 electrolytic capacitors 1 piezo buzzer A solderless breadboard and 8 jumper wires Instructions booklet includes teacher's guide and technical notes. The guide shows you how to build 4 different circuits and test them. Circuits explained include: A simple half-wave rectifier, A half-wave rectifier with smoothing capacitors, A full wave "bridge" rectifier with and without smoothing, and A voltage doubling rectifier. This kit contains powerful magnets. People with pacemakers must not handle or go near strong magnets.
