With this Windmill building kit, your kiddies will experience how to use the wind to light up the dark! Crikey! Harvesting the power from the wind, they will learn about renewable energy after building the wind generator themselves. Mate, they'll be surprised how much energy it takes to light up a small LED light! No batteries required!
The kit includes: 1 rotor, 1 front-housing with gear and rotor shaft installed, 1 back housing, 2 half screws caps, 1 toy motor with gear (generator), 1 motor cover, 8 small screws, 1 LED with wires and detailed instructions.
Assemble a unique, solar motorised module, powered by a solar cell - using clean energy from the sun. Use it as the engine of a vibrating robot that slides across the floor, a cooling fan that functions automatically under the sun or an illusion spinner creating rainbows in your room when the sun is out! What a ripper!
Kit contains 1 solar panel, 1 solar panel holder, 1 motor with wires, 1 solar panel arm, 1 solar panel arm top pivot, 1 solar panel arm bottom pivot, 1 motor housing top, 1 motor housing base, 3 metal legs, 1 robot base, 1 cam, 1 fan blade, 2 suction cups, 1 bottle adaptor, 1 CD clip, 1 bird cage disc, 4 holographic strips, 1 plastic stick, 1 strip holder base, 1 strip holder top, 1 illusion spinner, 2 small screws, washered screws and detailed instructions.
Recommended for ages 8 and up but if you know a clever little tike, I'm sure they'd give it a good nudge, mate!
