Didatics

This kit teaches and introduces the fundamentals of solar power through hands-on experiments. The sun or any intense mobile light can power the solar battery. The multiple function switch (solar or battery) allows this kit to be energized day or night, indoors or outdoors. It scientifically structured catamaran design reduces water resistance and makes capsizing more difficult. The user can explore differnt types of energy and energy conversion with this land and water vehicle. Discover the worl of alternative energy by learning what materials solar batteries are made from, characteristics of solar batteries, advantages and disadvantages of solar.

Dr. Toy, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., author, consultant and expert on child development and children's product says, "PHENOMENAL! - Amphibious Solar Vehicle is the toy for the millenium... Land, Water, Solar Power, WOW! This is the way future technology is taking us."
