Science Fair Project Ideas
~ Compare the amount of energy produced by using a hair dryer, then the wind in your backyard.

~ Which is more effective in determining the amount of energy being produced, the multimeter or the BioColor Leds?

~ Compare the output of energy between a fan and a hairdryer.

~ Is the energy output more efficient when you combine the windmill with the solar panels?

Exampe hypothesis: The natural wind is more effective in creating energy flow than an artifical electrical appliance such as a hair dryer.


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. It’s perfect for teaching about Wind Energy in the classroom.


The Rectification kit and the Windmill kit are packaged together.

This kit includes:

  • 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.

    • Many adults who are considering home power systems will profit from the lessons taught by these simple experiments. Each experiment takes from 10 to 15 minutes to perform, a perfect length of time for classroom use.


    The Advanced Deluxe Solar Educational Kit teaches you how to convert sunlight into electricity. Includes manual guide.

    Project Ideas
    Make a solar circuit.
    Make an electrical circuit.
    Learn how to increase voltage.
    Learn how to increase current.
    Learn how to make a solar panel
    Use solar power to produce the energy for a radio, calculator, battery charger or 1.5V cassette player
    The solar cell comes with 8 solar cells, electric motor, propeller, buzzer, light bulb, wire and hardware.

    The instruction manual teaches the concepts of solar electricity and gives experiments. Information includes how to connect solar cells to achieve variations in voltage and current, basic circuit concepts, and theory of solar cell construction.

     

    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.


    Warning for all kits on this page.


     


     Note:  Note: Only the multimeter and
     LEDs come assembled. You receive
     parts to build the items pictured.
