SOLAR POWER

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

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

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
