WIND ENERGY
STEM Plus 4V3Turbine
Competition Kit
Picoturbine Takes learning to the next level
by adding competition to the equation. Each
interface allows up to 4 alternating power
sources to be compared at one time. Using a
PC, students see real time data comparison of
RPM's and power output of their alternators.
•Works seamlessly w/PicoTurbine Savonius V3 Wind turbine kit
• Students learn what helps or hinders alternator efficiency through trial & error
Includes STEM Plus interface & 4 PicoTurbine SavoniusV3 Wind turbines,
1 cable & 1 CD.

Savonius ModelWindTurbineV3 Kit
Picoturbine Kit is a fully functioning miniature vertical
windmill. Users learn how S-foil wind blades capture
energy from any direction. They build an alternator
that uses magnetic induction to produce electrical
current. Ideal for science fair projects and classroom
demonstrations.
• Injection molded base & frame
• Produces approximately 1.5-6.0V/50mA at wind speeds of 12 mph
• For ages 10 & up
Includes sets of recycled plastic s-foils, disc & blades, 4 ceramic grade-five
magnets & pre-wound 4 (220)-turn copper coils.

SOLAR POWER
54-in-1 Solar House Lab
Chaney Students create a model house made of
Plexiglas and install an amorphous silicon glass solar
panel to simulate how to harness the sun's energy.
This kit will introduce students to basic technology
and fundamental concepts used in common house-
hold devices such as lighting, thermostats, fire alarms
and burglar alarms. These technologies include solar panels, motors, fans,
resistors, diodes, LEDs, switches, lamps and batteries.
Easy-to-follow pictorial diagrams will guide the student through 26 chapters
containing a variety of activities and useful experiments along with fun and
interesting facts relating to solar energy. Kit offers a hands-on approach that
is applicable for use in grades 6 through college. No soldering or additional
batteries required. Re-usable and safe to use. Beginner skill level.
Includes parts, components, wires, breadboard, solar panel & detailed
instruction manual.

EcoStemVillage Kits
ECO CAD Students build solar house kits and
conduct simulated Power Grid experiments
with solar panels, rechargeable batteries, LEDs,
fans, water pumps, a 3-blade wind turbine and
a remote controlled electric car. They connect
multiple houses together in an electrical Power
Grid to simulate electrical blackouts and brownouts. It is a great way to
have students assemble and wire each house to learn about renewable
energy and how the real Power Grid works.
Each house supports up to 2 students. No cutting or trimming required.
Assembly requires only a screwdriver. More houses and accessories can be
added to the grid.
Each kit includes pre-cut, pre-drilled coroplast foundation, walls, ceiling &
roof, 4 ceiling LEDs with attached wires, 3 AA rechargeable NiMH batteries
w/battery holder & wires, 2 solar panels (6V 150ma) w/attached wires, ceiling
motor-fan w/attached wires, aggregator circuit board (EV-AB) w/4 input & 4
output switches plus push terminals that accept wires from the components
above & connectors for CAT5 cables on each end to attach the houses
together into a power grid, CAT5 cable (3'L) w/attached 8-pin connectors
on each end, mounting hardware (screws, angle brackets, etc.) , USB Module
(EV-USB) , energy monitoring software classroom license (Windows) , 6 hand
held, battery operated 27 LED lights, 3 multi-function meters, 3-blade wind
turbine, remote controlled, super-capacitor electric car, mini water pump,
complete experiments, student exercises & teacher guide.

Solar Deluxe Educational Kit
Elenco Solar power harnesses the sun’s
power with environmental-friendly D.I.Y. kit.
A series of experiments teaches the basics of
solar energy. They’ll learn how to make electri-
cal and solar circuits, how to increase voltage
and current and how to use solar power to
produce energy for a radio, calculator, battery charger, a cassette player
and more. For ages 10 & up.
Includes fan unit, musical unit, plastic lamp, DC motor, solar cell module
w/stand, yellow plastic turntables (4 sizes), paper airplane & bird models,
