1 4in. x 4in magazine cover
1 straw
1 pin
Scissors
-Or-
The windmill from the windmill experiment (skip to step 5).
Pot of boiling water and a lid for the pot (be careful, steam can burn)
|
|
|
|
Fold the paper in half, then in half again. Unfold.
|
|
|
|
Cut the folds about two inches towards the center with the scissors. Do not cut all the way through!
|
|
|
|
Moving in a clockwise direction, take the corner of the first triangle and bring it to the center. Hold it there with your finger. Do this for the other three triangles.
|
|
|
|
Put the pin through the center of the windmill. Now insert the pin through the tip of the straw.
|
|
|
|
Take the pot of boiling water, and put the lid on it. Wait until a steady stream of steam flows out of a crack.
|
|
|
|
Put the windmill over the stream of steam. The blades turn. The spinning blades could be connected to a generator, and the generator could generate electricity.
