Power House: Experiments
in Future Technics provides an engaging introduction to regenerative
energy sources while teaching basic concepts and principles in physical
science. The kit focuses on the heat and light energy from the sun,
the energy from the wind, as well as with electrochemical and plant
energy. You will learn how to transform and use these forms of energy.
With this Power House kit you can build a model
house complete with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination
system, build and operate an electric train, solar cooker, solar
hot water tank, hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, sail car,
and more! Plant watercress, prepare sauerkraut, and make chewing
gum.
The thoughtfully designed series of experiments
were developed by physicist Uwe Wandrey. Professor Wandrey creatively
integrates physical science and technology lessons with the adventure
of building a home and living on a remote island. To survive, you
must learn how to harness the power of the sun and the wind as well
as tap the energy of other physical forces. The storyline follows
the experiments in a stepwise fashion. Easy-to-follow activities
make it fun to build models and use them for your experiments.
|
|
Many
toys nowadays have all the bells and whistles already built in,
overloading even the most curious young brains with visual and sound
signals.
This well designed kit firmly
stimulates your thinking creating those "whistles" inside
your mind and that of your children.
Give fun learning!

The Soltronix Headphone
Radio is solar powered AM/FM headphone that offers superb sound
quality. The solar module allows it to operate in as little as 30%
of full sunlight. Any additional power generated goes to charging
the battery while the headphones are still operating.
When turned off, all power goes to recharging the
batteries. One hour of charging in full sun gives 1-2 hours of night-time
use while the fully charged battery provides over 18 hours of radio
play. Uses environmentally friendly NiMH
batteries. Highlights include extended bass, comfortable dual headband,
and unobtrusive internal antenna.
|
|
What
an amazing gadget! This is a must for everybody who likes music/radio.
Buy two and you can dance
with your partner - anywhere - without having to worry about running
out of power or disturbing your environment!

Sleek, powerful, unearthly,
and very cool... this futuristic solar car that you build yourself
is an exciting way to demonstrate the use of alternative energy!
It features an aerodynamic sports car shell design,
a 4-wheel chassis, a powerful 1.4 volt, 350 milliampere solar cell
(included) and transparent plastic body that can be painted or left
clear to display the car's inner mechanical construction. The steerable
front axle, rear wheel and adjustable (directional/angle) solar
panel mount are all independent parts, allowing for separate solar
projects.
The Solar Car Kit is also convertible. For example,
the two-way battery source allows you to use solar power, or an
alkaline AA battery (sold separately). Other features include a
multi-speed transmission. This is a marvelous educational science
project for ages 9 and up.
Dimensions: 5.7" x 8.8" x 1.75"
(14.5 x 22.5 x 4.5cm). Arrives non-painted.

Electric
cars may well be the standard of the not so far future. This cool
looking electric car model can be pewered by batteries or directly
by sunlight.
Idea! You could also experiment
with charging the battery (rechargable batteries not included) somehow
with your panels. See and observe what happens!
Another Idea! Get a small
solar panel kit and add more panels for more power. Alternatively
use only the motor and electrics of this car to power you own car
(made of wood, or lego...) or convert it into a boat...

This solar powered Cybug
is easy to build and educational! Very active in direct sunlight,
its sensitive infrared eyes continually cause this Cybug to move
toward the brightest object it sees. Its feelers help it navigate
its way around obstacles and even has short-term memory about objects
it comes in contact with!
Its long vertical antennae can draw energy from
other sources such as homemade "feeding stations" described
in the kit. Requires basic hand tools, soldering iron, and approximately
2 hours to complete. Skill Level III
|
|
A
solar energy powered vehicle that moves towards every light source.
Can it follow/find your flashlight?
What happens if you cover the light source with coloured transparent
foil - is it more sensitive to red or blue colour?
Use mirrors to show it the
way! Can you design a track using lights and mirrors so that it
can find its way around obstacles in a predictable way?

Demonstrate the principle
of solar energy and the free power available from the sun. Kits
include pre-cut balsa wood or acrylic pieces, DC motor, solar panel,
and motor pulley.
Kits either snap together, needing no glue, or
use the included adhesive. All wood pieces may be painted. Two-foot
twin wire leads are included with the 3" x 1 1/2" solar
panel. For ages 8 & up. |
|
I
must have made really big eyes when I finally got hold of a little
piece of a solar cell at the age 12. It was a miracle how this shiny
piece of something could make a lamp glow or motor turn without
any noise.
See the eyes of your little
scientists when they see the blades of the helicopter turn after
shining light on the little solar panel.
Obviously you can use wood
to built all sorts of things... think about it!

A delightful, lavishly illustrated, highly amusing
and super educational romp through the basics of solar energy,
using that most perfect of solar collectors, the common cat. Pokes
fun at all that's sacred to technicians, engineers, and bureaucrats,
while doing a charming non-technical job of explaining how solar
technology works.
Adults and children will both enjoy this book.
This is an extensive update of the 1970 classic by the same author.
Paperback: 96 pages; Publisher: Patty Paw Press;
Updated edition (November 1, 2003)
"Every dollar spent on a solar cat is a
dollar well spent."
Dr. Alan Catspan, noted economist.
|
|
Solar
energy is for everybody!
For some reason, a fresh
non-technical introduction is a very rare occurance.
This book does make a great
gift for everyone including the technical enthusiast who likes to
see a different perspective of solar technology.
Let's hope there will be
a movie out soon...!

(included).
Also runs on 3 AA batteries or 2 AA NiCad rechargeable
batteries (included). Measures 8 1/2" x 3" x 7" and

and invaluable.
I have one of these and find
myself using it not just in emergencies but when other torches are
out of battery just when you need them.
Great multifunctional solar

Lighted house numbers
help visitors or emergency personnel (or the pizza guy) find their
way to your home easily at night!
Just 1-½ hours of sun each day will power
the light all night long. Detachable, 12"x12-¼"
solar module has an 8' cord, so it can face the sun even if your
front door does not. Automatically goes on at dusk, off at dawn.
Includes enough 4" numerals (visible from
500') for a five-digit address. Durable ABS plastic; weatherproof.
Includes 16" stake, three Ni-Cad batteries.
|
|
An
illuminated address marker is something I would have appreciated
many many times when I was looking for a (new) friends place - especially
in the US where streets or a block can be very long...
Emergency services would
also appreciate this feature and it may save your life!
Make life for vistors (including
yourself!) easier - using solar technology.
Advertise the power of the
sun and your awareness of energy issues! |

These amazing lights
performed beautifully in the most miserable winter weather Vermont
has ever seen. They're indestructible — you can drive a truck
right over them. They glow for several nights on one charge, even
buried in snow, and the blinking light is visible over a mile away.
No one will ever miss your driveway again!
Set of 2 markers, each with 6 amber LEDs. Visible
a mile away. Nail right into the asphalt, or screw to posts if you
plow your drive (screws not included). Also great to light a pathway,
mark a hazard, for boat docks and mooring buoys.
Each 4-1/4" x 3-7/8" x 1-1/8" H
Made of aluminum with crystalline solar panel
3-way switch: on / off / blinking

Ceramic-look “Noel”
Luminaria Set is charged by the sun during the day, to shine brightly
at night!
You remember luminarias as little paper sacks filled
with sand and a lit candle, set up along a driveway or path. But
this 4-pc. “NOEL” set is illuminated with LED bulbs
that are charged daily by a separate solar panel that can be set
up to 10’ away from the display.
And the paper sack is now colorful ceramic-look
resin, to withstand the weather! Each “sack” can be
placed up to 23” from the next, and measures 7-1/2”x3-1/2”x9”
tall.
|

A
beautiful solar gift in the festive season! |
