Classroom PicoTurbine Windmill
& DC Experiments Kit

Assembled PicoTurbine Savonius V2 Plus Educational Wind Turbine Windmill Kit

It's great for wind energy in the classroom, for science fair projects or just plain fun!

Rectifion DC Experiments Kit
Includes 12 page manual guide.

Wind: Today, people realize that wind power is one of the most promising new energy sources that can serve as an alternative to fossil fuel-generated electricity.

Have your students investigate the pros and cons of wind energy.

Science Fair Project Ideas ~ Each student or group of students uses different materials for the shell of the turbine windmil. See which one has the smoothest motion and least wobble whenspinning. ~ Compare different widths of blades to determine which has more energy power. Exampe hypothesis: The wind turbine with the thinner blades will have more energy power.

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.

This kit and the Windmill kit come packaged together. 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. 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.
