In this kit, you can learn about alternative energy and sustainable living by conducting experiments and building energy-related models. Thirty of the best experiments and the ten most important building projects from the original Power House kit are presented in this new Green Essentials Edition.
The ten building projects include: the power house itself, a green house, a solar cell array, a passive solar collector, a solar oven, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a hydrometer, a lemon battery, and a wind power generator.
Experiment with the heating, cooling, and insulation of the house and green house. Test passive solar collection methods with a solar collector. Assemble a solar power array to explore active solar power with photovoltaics. Build a model refrigerator and air conditioner to learn about heat transfer. Experiment with a lemon battery to learn about power storage. Set up a wind turbine to generate electricity from the wind.
As you perform the experiments, you will read the diary entries of a group of young explorers who are learning to live a sustainable existence on an island. To survive, they must implement real-world versions of the projects you are doing in the kit. Ages 10 and up.
WARNING: Not to be used by children except under the supervision of adults who have familiarized themselves with the experiments and safety precautions in the manual. Only for use by children 10 years of age or older. Components in this kit may be sharp, breakable, or have sharp edges. Handle with caution. Follow all instructions in the manual. Keep away from small children. Not for children under 3 years.
