SKY-Z AC Wind Turbine Generator Additive Manufacturing Update
PicoProducts PicoTurbine STEM Wind
Over the last month, PicoSolutions has been working on improving our internal products. While all of our products are equally important we wanted to start with a product that could improve our sustainability. This product is the SKY-Z AC disc. The Sky-Z AC disc is used to create an electrical current when rotating over copper coils that are wired in series.
PicoBot Development
With the use of additive Manufacturing, PicoSolutions has reimagined manufacturing processes and redesigned a better product for the future. PicoBots are currently being utilized in over 100 schools around the world in their initial launch & as the product becomes more well-known we hope to encourage students to materialize their imaginations in the same way we do with products like this!
