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. Its perfect for teaching about Wind Energy in the classroom.

The Rectification 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.
Within 10 to 15 minutes you will be able to perform an experiment. This is also a perfect length of time for classroom use.
