Solar Mechanics - T&K kit

Build more than 20 solar-powered models to
learn about how solar cells convert energy
from sunlight into mechanical energy. Conduct
experiments with the solar cell to see how different
placement angles, different light levels,
different sources of light, and different loads
affect its operation. Learn about solar power in a fun, hands-on way.
This kit includes a unique single-piece solar motor that is composed
of a photovoltaic cell and an electric motor joined together in one
compact unit. With this solar motor, you can power dozens of electric
vehicles and devices. Build models including cars, trucks, planes, windmills,
waterwheels, robots, and other vehicles. The 60-page, full-color
experiment manual offers step-by-step illustrated instructions for the
building projects and experiments. Compatible with other Thames and
Cosmos Physics and Construction kits. 60 page manual, 20 experiments,
ages 8 and up.
