About Wind Turbines
Understanding wind energy is a critical aspect of advancing green energy initiatives overall. By harnessing the natural
kinetic energy of wind, we’re able to create things like mechanical power and electricity—things that we depend on
every single day at school or work or when we’re hanging out with friends and family.
The wind turbines we have available here at PicoTurbine International do just that—they turn wind into power. The
force of wind—controlled by environmental factors like temperature, climate, and flow patterns—drives the turbine,
which in turn powers a generator. From there, our imaginations are the limit. The smarter and more creative we can get
with the ways we use wind energy, or wind power, the better off we’ll be as a planet.
PicoTurbine International’s wind turbine products and curriculum strive to engage learners and advance green energy
education.

a fully function miniature vertical windmill that teaches
students how to convert Alternating current into Direct
Current. At wind speeds of 12 mph it produces
approximately 3.0V/50mA and with the rectification
adaptor can greatly expand its output.

adjustable to the coil array allowing users to
witness magnetic strength principles. The wind
turbine produces alternating current that can be
displayed when connected to the bi-color LED.
This special LED emits alternating red and green
light when voltage switches from positive to
negative.
This windmill kit walks users through every aspect of
capturing and converting wind power into electricity,
building an alternator, and conversion of electricity.
Most importantly users learn how S-foil wind blades
that can (unlike horizontal wind blades) capture energy
from any wind direction.
This product is ideal for science fair projects,
classroom demonstrations, and at home teaching.
PicoTurbine sells additional coils and magnets
upon request, making the kit highly
customizable. While this kit can be built and
operated by children 10 and up, however it

Imagine creating a 3-phase wind turbine from a common,
everyday roof ventilator along with some magnets and
coils of wire. That’s what we’ve created for your study of
wind technology. We chose the Whirlybird TM roof
ventilator for several reasons.
First, it has great bearings that simply will not wear out
under normal – and even severe – use. Without great
bearings your wind turbine is always fighting friction that
only serves to slow it down with the attendant loss of
power. Second, it can be easily constructed with common
tools and without soldering or drilling. Third, it can be
used indoors and [especially] outdoors where your study
of day-to-day and season-by-season wind never stops.
Fourth, it produces 3-phase power just like the
commercial wind turbines, which allows you to study this
marvelous electrical principle first hand by using your
computer and the 3-phase Bar Graph Board to produce
computer plots like this. Fifth, you will be able to modify
it in order to study the effects of magnetism and how you
can optimize the mechanical components to produce
maximum power.

About solar power
The sun is extremely hot— about 15 million ° C or 27 million ° F—and provides a wonderful, natural resource for
power. Most of us have used something in our own homes that is solar-powered—a simple calculator, for instance.
Developing an understanding of how to better channel and use solar power is an important piece of the renewable
energy puzzle.
Using mirrors, we’re able to collect the sun’s energy to provide the heat necessary to produce electricity. Historically,
burning fossil fuels has been a primary way that we’ve created this heat, but with the renewable power of the sun, that
can be eliminated. Solar power is captured using a variety of systems, including linear concentrators, dishes and power
tower systems. PicoTurbine International’s solar power products and curriculum strive to engage learners and advance
green energy education.

About geothermal and renewable electricity resources
Renewable energy sources create electricity in a way that continues to enable us to live, work and advance as people,
yet does so in a manner that is cleaner, more sustainable and gentler with our precious planet Earth. Renewable or
―green‖ energy techniques emit little or no carbon dioxide or other air pollutants.
Common renewable energy resources include wind power, solar power, hydropower, fuel cell technology and
geothermal power, which is power extracted from heat stored in the Earth. Electrical power is a necessity, but finding
ways to create it that are less reliant on fossil fuels will have benefits beyond helping the environment. Green energy
development will result in new jobs and less oil we have to buy from foreign countries.
PicoTurbine International’s electric kit products and curriculum strive to engage learners and advance green energy
education. Creating our electricity in this manner is sustainable and responsible. We’re glad you’re doing your part!

About fuel cell technology
Fuel cell technology offers a clean and affordable energy alternative that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. A
fuel cell converts a source fuel into an electric current. It requires only hydrogen and oxygen to operate.
A reaction between a fuel and an oxidant is at the heart of fuel cell power. The reactants flow into the cell, and the
reaction products flow out of it. Another beneficial property of fuel cells is their ability to operate continuously. Plus,
they can create electricity with very little resultant pollution—usually just water as a by-product. This makes them an
integral part of green living.
PicoTurbine International’s fuel cell products and curriculum strive to engage learners and advance green energy
education.

Aztext Press Publishers Cam and Michelle
Mather live off-the-electricity grid and produce
all their own electricity. In the summer of 2007
they installed a 1 Kilowatt wind turbine so that
they had a "hybrid" system, once which has both
solar and wind power.
The addition of the new wind turbine has made a
huge reduction in their carbon footprint, as they
rarely have to run their fossil-fuel powered
generator any more, since the months with the
least sun tend to have more wind. They recorded
the complete installation process and have
produced our "Home-Scale Wind Turbine

"Living with Renewable Energy" is the
companion DVD to Bill Kemp's bestselling "The
Renewable Energy Handbook." It gives a guided
tour of Bill and Lorraine's off-the-electricity grid
home, and shows how normal life can be while
using a fraction of the energy of a typical North
American home, and generating all your own
power from the sun and wind.
Using a standard tubular-steel tilt-up tower kit,
common with many home sized wind turbines,
the Mathers found that manuals can sometimes
be confusing especially for people who learn by
seeing how things work. So the DVD takes the
viewer step-by-step through the entire
installation process, from choosing a site, to
running wire, assembling the tower and finally
using a winch for the final lift. It also includes
lots of tips and techniques not usually provided
in the manuals, such as building re-bars cages for
the anchor holes and using conduit for wire runs.
This is a must watch for anyone planning on
putting a wind turbine to learn the process and
the proper techniques for a safe and successful
installation.

for each course. However, with the pacing guide included you can expand it to many more hours of fun.
Comprehensive programs, limitless options
The programs are comprehensive, touching upon science, math, English, geography, communication and other subjects.
PicoTurbine can provide trained instructors to run the programs. Or, we can provide the materials and curriculum to
school administrations for use with their in-house faculty.
All after school program curriculum can be used interchangeably with a regular classroom setting. We also offer
translation for any language.
Looking to the future
We are currently developing after school programs for grades K-4, 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12 for biodiesel, tidal power,
hydro, geothermal and fuel cell energy. If you are in need of a specific program right now, contact us and we can
custom develop one that suits your grade level needs.

First and foremost, the priority for our workshops is engagement and stimulation. We want learners to
interact with their materials, environment and one another. The larger goal of PicoTurbine is to create
programming that truly makes education a more communicative, open and sharing kind of exchange. We
aim to bring the same bonding qualities that our science kits foster between friends and family members to a
broader audience. These workshops are for everyone.
All of our curriculum adheres to national standards and can be enjoyed by learners of all ages. We are
available Monday-Saturday 9:30-2:30 for workshops at our Jersey City address at 50 Dey Street, Jersey
