Build a Solar Car Workbook
|
Race your friends with a solar car (left) "The Build a Solar Car workbook comes with everything you need to build a cool solar race car and is full of illuminating solar science facts. Check out the wheels, axles, motors, wires and a genuine one-volt solar cell. No glue, no nails, no tape and (best of all) no batteries required." Here are some examples of pages from the workbook below. NASCAR watch out! Go to Solar Car page

Triple Action Solar Car Kit |  Independent parts makes for triple action projects... a marvelous beginning educational science project for ages 9 and up. Specifications: Body size: 14.5 x 22.5 x 4.5cm. Power source: 1) Solar cell battery output Power / 1.4V - 350mA (max) 2) Dry cell battery - "AA" x 1 pc (not included) DC motor: Rated voltage / 1.9V; Rated ampere / 145mA. A multiple function switch (solar [1.4 volt, 350mA] or battery) allows this kit to be energized day or night, indoors or outdoors. Learn what materials solar cells are made from and also the scientific characteristics of solar cells. | |

Fuel Cell CarX7 Model Kit
|  This Fuel Cell Car X7 kit has been made more accessible to users, both in terms of content and price. There is a new manual focused more on building and designing a fuel cell car, rather than the comprehensive lesson on the science of fuel cells and solar cells. The minimum age has been lowered and easy to follow directions have been geared to a younger audience. The kit has been optimized for simplicity and ease of use over thorough experimentation. With its new focus, some parts have become unnecessary and have been removed to reduce the cost. Look for the more sophisticated Fuel Cell Car Kit on the Solar Model Kit website page... | |

Fuel Cell Car and Experimental Kit |
 Automobile manufacturers are already experimenting successfully with this technology and it is widely believed that fuel cells will power automobiles and many electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones, in the near future. With this unique kit, you can build your own experimental reversible fuel cell car to learn more about this energy source. The 96-page, full color Experiment Manual offers over 30 experiments, including: How to build a solar-powered car. Effects of direct and indirect radiation. Characteristics of a solar module.  Electrolysis and its effect on water. Oxy-hydrogen test. How to construct and load a reversible fuel cell. Decomposition of water in the fuel cell. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of gas in a fuel cell. How efficient is electrolysis? How light influences electrolysis. Solar electrolysis. Fuel cell-powered car. Contents: complete reversible fuel cell (hydrocycle system) • Wire • Motor • Chassis • Axle • Gas collector • 4 Wheels • Solar panel with support • Syringe • Tube • Digital multimeter • Test tube • Protective goggles • Labels • Bag of small parts for fuel cell • Bag of small electronic parts • Experiment Manual | |
Physics Science Workshop Kit
| 
- Physics Workshop brings physics to the forefront, with 36 building projects and subsequent experiments. Learn the fundamental laws of mechanics as you build windmills, cranes, sail cars, robots, hammering machines, centrifuges, gears, levers, screws, inclined planes, pulleys, wheels and axles, building blocks, complex models, scales, and dozens of other machines. And don't forget simple machines, gears, levers, screws, inclined planes, pulleys, wheels, and axles, the building blocks of more complex models. This hands-on approach makes learning fun because the principles of physics are demonstrated right in front of you. Appropriately, 2005 was "The World Year of Physics"TM. (marking the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's miraculous year, in which he published three papers that have since influenced all of modern physics). See www.physics2005.org for other information. | |
Saltlwater Fuel Cell Car | The Salt Water Fuel Cell Car Troubleshooter: Here are some things you can look up when you have trouble with your Saltwater Fuel Cell Car: • Car not moving when cartridge is inserted - make sure enough salt is used in the water solution (too much is fine) • Make sure layers are correct. First, air cathode (black); second, nonwoven fabric (white); and finally the magnesium sheet on top) -The cartridge may be pushed in too far or not far enough. Slowly push in or pull out until the wheels start spinning. • When trying to get car to work, make sure your hand is not on back wheels - this may keep them from spinning. • Cartridges replacement: If you need a replacement part you can order it online here, http://www.owirobot.com/pages/Parts-Order-Form.html - or fill out the warranty form in the back of your manual and send it to: Email: info@owirobot.com.
