It's
street tough, water ready and solar powered. It would be difficult to find a
beginner robotic kit more fun and educational than the Amphibious Solar Vehicle!
This kit introduces fundamentals of solar power through hands-on experiments.
The sun or any intense mobile light can power the solar cell (included). A
multiple function switch (solar [1.4 volt, 350mA] or battery) allows this kit to
be energized day or night, indoors or outdoors. Its scientifically structured
catamaran design reduces water resistance, thus reducing the possibility of
capsizing. The user can explore different types of energy conversion with this
land and water vehicle. Learn what materials solar cells are made from and the
characteristics of solar cells, advantages and disadvantages of solar power.
Dr. Toy, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., author, consultant and expert on child
development and children's products says, "PHENOMENAL! - Amphibious Solar
Vehicle is the toy for the new millennium...Land, Water, Solar Power, WOW! This
is the way future technology is taking us."
