PicoTurbine Windmill Kit

Add-On Kit (Requires PicoTurbine Windmill Kit)

PicoTurbine Direct Current Experiment Kit

PicoTurbine DC Experiments is an add-on kit to the PicoTurbine Educational Windmill. It provides you with all the materials you need to learn about converting the AC electricity produced by PicoTurbine into DC electricity. The comprehensive instruction guide shows you how to build 4 different circuits and test them. No soldering is required, because the kit includes a solderless breadboard and jumper wires. Just follow the simple instructions to connect together the parts and perform the experiments!

PicoTurbine Wire Coil 4-Pk

This is a pack of 4 wire coils, just like the ones we package with the PicoTurbine educational windmill kit. They consist of approximately 300 turns of #28 AWG [0.3 mm] enamel coated magnet wire. The coils measure approximately 2" x 1" by 1/4" thick. Each coil weighs about 1 ounce [28 grams]. The resistance of each coil is approximately 8 ohms. These coils are wound by hand and so there is some variability to them, but they are great for homebrew experimentation and will save you a lot of time vs. winding your own coils. You can use these to create your own alternators based on the PicoTurbine design. Try using 6 or 8 coils instead of the usual 4 coils.

Ceramic Grade 5 Magnets 4-Pk

This is a pack of 4 ceramic grade 5 magnets, the same ones we use in PicoTurbine. You can use them to scale up PicoTurbine in your own experiments or for any kind of science education, homebrew or just plain fun! Each magnet measures 1.875" by 0.875" by 0.375" thick. [Approximately 47mm x 22mm x 9mm thick.] The poles are on the large opposite faces, just like you need for a good alternator. These magnets have an intrinsic strength of 0.395 Tesla (3,950 Gauss) and are among the most cost-effective strong magnets available. WARNING! These magnets are strong and can pinch your fingers if not handled carefully. Also, if allowed to snap together they may chip or break. Persons wearing pacemakers should not handle strong magnets. Some small chips may occur during shipping but will not significantly affect strength.
