Powered Valiant Viking Ship
ROW! Let’s turn
back time when the Vikings used to cross the Atlantic or to sail east. The
hard rowing crew used the rolling method to maneuver their large, silent,
swift ships through rivers and into the open waters of the Black Sea. The
evolution of the 21st Century version of OWI’s Valiant Viking Ship is
similar in nature but uses alternative energy principle, solar, to power
its way through water. The sweat drenched Vikings would have welcomed and
appreciated the new and improved method of propulsion.
It would appear the Valiant Viking Ship is “smiling” as the sun shines
providing its rhythmic splashing, as the oars penetrate the water’s edge
to create movement. You can almost hear the cheers of the Vikings as they
standby and watch the alternative energy principle demonstrate its marvel.
Upon completion of its journey, one can moor the ship on its docking
station (included). No batteries required and 33 plastic parts to
assemble. It’s most advantageous because: it’s very inexpensive for
individuals or groups; clear easy to follow instructions; motivates
students to learn about solar energy; a great self-contained take-home
project for boys or girls clubs; challenges young people to be technically
precise with miniature parts; teaches students to follow precise visual
diagrams; have hours of fun experimenting with solar energy.
