Science Fair Project Ideas ~ Find out what affects performance... Does there need to be a tight connection between all the copper wires? ~ How many solar panels do you need to produce the most energy? Is less better than more or vice versa? Exampe hypothesis: 6 solar panels is more effective in producing energy for a wind turbine than 2? 3? 4? 5?

With the PicoTurbine Windmill Kit will build a fully functioning, electricity-producing scale model of a wind turbine. 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 4 (3/4”) Phillips head (cross slot) screw 1 eye-hook screw 1 wooden dowel 1 piece of wood about 8” by 5” and ½” thick (for the base) 3 pieces of wood about 8” by 1 ¼” and ½” thick (for the frame) 1 piece of corrugated cardboard about 8" by 10" 2 pieces of wood about 7/8" by 7/8" (axle Stablizer) 1 strip of double-sided tape 1 small piece of sandpaper for stripping the copper wire 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 come packaged together. This kit includes all parts that you will need: Four diodes Two electrolytic capacitors A solderless breadboard and 8 jumper wires One piezo buzzer One bicolor LED Instruction 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. Each experiment takes between 10 to 15 minutes to perform, an excellent length of time for a classroom demonstration.
