Item Specifications and Additional Information:
Would you or your child like to learn first hand about wind power and converting electricity?
Here's a ready-to-build Savonius Windmill Kit, perfect for ages 10 and up. Assembling this kit will teach the principles
of wind power and how to convert the AC electricity that the windmill produces into DC electricity. When everything has been completed,
you will have a fully functioning wind turbine that you will then be able to use to test the circuits you built.
When assembled, you will see how the S-foil blades can catch wind energy from all directions. Your wind turbine will produce
approximately 3.0V/50mA at wind speeds of 12mph which is enough power to light up the included bicolor LED.
The kit includes everything you need to assemble the wind turbine and the circuits for the AC to DC experiments:
- S-Foils and plastic blades
- Pre Cut wood
- Wooden dowels
- Plastic S-foils and blades
- Rotor disk
- Prewound coils of enamel coated copper wire
- Ceramic magnets
- Bicolor LED
- Screw
- Double-sided tape
- Sandpaper
- Stabilizers
- Solderless breadboard
- Pre-cut Wire Connectors
- Capacitors
- Diodes
- Piezo Buzzer
- Experiments
- Instruction manual
PicoTurbine kits have been used by thousands of students, homeschoolers and hobbyists to
learn all about wind power and renewable energy sources. Some past users include major universities
such as Caltech, Duke, Texas A&M and MIT, along with the NREL - the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory who have used the PicoTurbine kits for their summer youth programs.
This kit is perfect for science fairs, science projects, science class, summer camp, Boy Scout
troops, Girl Scout troops, or anyone that wants to have fun learning about wind power.
Included in the kit is a instructor's guide that provides technical notes as well as other
ideas for teachers including experiments. Should you have any trouble with the assembly or operation,
a comprehensive trouble-shooting guide is also provided.
