CHARIOT OF THE SUN

DESCRIPTION

Invented by Arnold McCutcheon, the unique uni-axle Solar Chariot relies on the weight of the motor to keep its solar panel facing upward. Our 1-volt x 500-mAmp solar panel powers an electrical motor to drive 10- and 50-tooth gears. Easily assembled, this kit uses CD’s for wheels. Customize with your old CD’s.

The Solar Team

On building a solar boat: My friends are amazed at the power and motor speed of solar.

“Hi…just want to let you know that the school project was a big success! He got an A+ on it… especially because it was an original idea.”

M.S.

“The solar cars worked GREAT. This activity was a huge hit with the campers and we were able to generate some excellent discussion and learning about alternative energy, climate change, etc, etc.”

The car kits did arrive in time. The workshop was a hit! Kids had a great time assembling the kits with their parents. After the workshop, we brought the cars outside and the kids experimented with adjusting the solar panels and changing the direction of the car. It was great to watch their young minds at work! Thanks for a great product!

K.H.

“We had our *Bring Your Child To Work Day* last week. The kids (ages 7 – 13) had a great time learning about solar power and building their cars. Hearing the younger kids squeal with excitement as their cars began to move on the patio was priceless. Having the spare parts in the kits was helpful too. Overall the kits were GREAT!”

“By the way, I really appreciate your well designed SolGear kits – they are proving very useful with our education programs teaching solar PV and electric motor efficiency.”

P.K.

“Your cars are incredible, they are so much fun and are a really effective way to show how an electric circuit works with a solar panel as the power source.”
