A word about powering the 6-in-1: 

Everyone knows that a solar panel needs the sun to work...
But recently we found out -  from what we think is a reliable source
- the various parts in the 6-in-1 will move when you shine a Halogen light bulb
(more than 50 watts) on the panel...
(we haven't tried this, and will send a solar prize to anyone who lets us
know if it really works). Pictures would help... Just email your thoughts to us at the contact buttons at the top or bottom of this page.

    Learn about the Power of the Wind...

    Build a working wind turbine to harness power out of thin air.

    Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. Wind energy has been used for centuries to pump water and crush grain in windmills, and is now increasingly being used to generate electricity to power our modern world.

    First, assemble a wind turbine complete with electric generator, adjustable rotors, and wind speed indicator. Then, conduct more than 20 experiments with your wind turbine, including experiments with different numbers of rotor blades, different blade angles and profiles, different wind speeds, different gear ratios, and so on.

    Use the wind turbine to generate mechanical power to lift a heavy weight or generate electricity to light up an LED and charge a rechargeable battery.

    With a high interest in science, our cat Muppet (Inspection Dept.) checks out the experiment list on the Power House Kit box! (below).


    The ten building projects include*

    * making a power house
    * making a greenhouse
    * building a solar cell array
    * building a passive solar collector and wind generator
    * building a solar oven
    * making an air conditioner
    * building a refrigerator
    * making a hydrometer, and lemon battery

    * Note: some of these projects listed above may not actually include the actual item;
    but rather it is considered a "building project."  Contact us for more information.

    Solar Power Technology in Action

    In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the sun.  Solar energy directly powers photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors.  Indirectly, we get power from plants grown by the sun, oceans heated by the sun, and Earth’s weather systems sustained by the sun.  Even the energy stored in fossil fuels originated as energy from the sun, captured by plants and animals millions of years ago.  Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells.  By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs.  There are 320 parts, which are also compatible with the other kits in our Physics line.  The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects.  Developed with Greenpeace in Germany.  Ages 8 and up.

    What you can build:
    * build 12 models, including a solar-powered tractor, truck, treaded vehicle, car, elevator, drawbridge, fan, airplane, mobile crane and construction crane
    * learn about harnessing the sun for a natural resource, and using solar power as an alternative energy
    * learn about motors and simple machines.  Call us for more information...
