Renewable Energy Experiment Kit For Kids
Posted by kiwinewt on 21 January, 2010Found this over on Eco Tech Daily:
This is freaking awesome! I got one of those crappy microscopes that let you see *SFA* when I was a kid. Wish I had one of these!
This Renewable Energy Experiment Kit has a wind turbine, solar cell, electrolytic cells, and a hand-operated dynamo which generate electricity that is stored in a rechargeable battery. The stored energy can then be distributed through the integrated circuit board to power a motor, LEDs, and buzzer using wiring terminated with alligator clips. The kit’s sourcebook explains different methods for reducing energy costs at home while providing a primer about the world’s energy sources.
Alas, over here the closest we can get is actual Alternate Energy kits, nothing as fun as that. But, if you know someone in the US, you can get it here!
