4-8 additional coils and magnets when added to the basic PicoTurbine model will on average produce 8-12 more volts of electricity.
The more electricity you produce will give you the ability to power more so additional Leds are an inexpensive way to show this increase in power.
A great way to impress your science teacher by showing your creativity with your science Project.
Number one reason why PicoTurbine Customers have told us they stood out at their Science Fair.
The multi-meter especially comes in handy when testing out how much power you are producing while experimenting. On average if bought in the store it will cost around $12-18 dollars.
Aluminum Ground Wire comes in handy when you are doing blade expansion or want to increase the size of your turbine. |
 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 enamel coated magnet wire, measure approximately 2" x 1" by 1/4" thick, weigh about 1 ounce or [28 grams] and have a resistance of approximately 8 ohms.
These coils are wound by a special machine and have some slight variability to them. They will save you countless of hours of winding your own coils. You can use these to create your own alternators based on the PicoTurbine design or upscale your science experiment by using 4 or 8 extra coils instead of the basic PicoTurbine kit which only includes 4 coils. We suggest 4 extra coils for a few more volts and 8-12 for maximum output of electricity. Retail Price: $16.95 Discount Price:  |
 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. Persons wearing pacemakers should not handle strong magnets. Retail Price: $7.99 Discount Price:  |
 This is the same bicolor LED we use in the PicoTurbine Educational Windmill Kit. When used they alternate between red and green depending on direction of current flow, so they are great for showing alternating current. Use these LED's to show the increase in outage of electricity. Great for experimentation, science fair projects, or other uses. Retail Price: $1.50 Discount Price:  |
