PicoTurbine's Savonius Model Wind Turbine Plus Kit walks users through every aspect of capturing and converting wind power into electricity, and then converting electricity from AC to DC power.
The kit’s fully-functioning miniature vertical windmill will produce approximately 3.0V/50mA with wind speeds of 12 mph, which can be increased with the included build-it-yourself alternator and rectifier. Includes a set of recycled blades, recycled S-foils, 4 ceramic grade-five magnets, 4 pre-wound 220-turn copper coils, and more.
Ideal for science fair projects, classroom demonstrations, and home schooling, the kit can be constructed by students as young as 10, and teaches scientific principles such as alternative energy, magnetic induction, alternating current, and aerodynamic principles that may require higher education. Ages 10+. WARNING: Adult supervision recommended for users under 12.
