EL.4(1) – Solar Car
A solar cell converts radiant energy of the sun or a light source to electrical energy.
Dimensions:
width: 8 cm
length: 25 cm
height: 11 cm
EL.4(2) – Solar Bug
This solar bug is designed in the shape of a dragonfly. It can either be used outdoors or indoors. Its motor is powered by a solar panel on its back, which converts radiant energy into electrical energy. Infrared sensors also serve as its “eyes”, directing the bug towards the lamp.
EL.4(3) – Solar Plane
No batteries required – this demo features solar panels built right into the wings of a small replica monoplane. When sunlight or bright light from a desk lamp hits the panels on the airplane, it generates electricity which turns the propeller on the miniature plane, causing it to fly in circles around the attached base. This is an excellent demonstration of solar power in action: if you cover up the solar panel, the propeller stops turning. Demo size: 15″ diameter x 7.5″ height.
