SOLRUN CLASSROOM 15 PACK

DESCRIPTION

Renewable Energy | Hands-on Education | Re-usable materials

Classroom kit of 15 SolarDrive II components, with additional tools and materials. Renewable and re-usable, the SolRun kit enables students to explore and invent solar-powered machines. Hands-on Solar Energy STEM.

Encourage your whole class to invent and build simple solar-electric machines that run on light. For grades 5 – 12, school programs and summer camps.

In addition to building 15 SolarDrive II’s, this kit enables students to build onto recycled materials (such as cardboard, plastic bottles, blister packs, juice cartons, etc.) and/or onto wood. Wood dowel axle-shafts are held in place by screw eyes. With these, axle-shafts can be mounted onto almost anything, at almost any angle. Rubber tubing snippets keep the axles from sliding sideways. All gears, pulleys, wheels, and hubs fit onto the same size dowel. Possible SolarDrives, showing wheels, gears, pulleys, propellers, CD-hubs and shaft mounted directly to motor. Direct motor drives

SolarDrives

Direct SolarDrives. Every size pulley or gear can be driven by the motor, using our motor shaft bushing.

Pulleys accept o-ring tires, for direct-drive options. The worm gear can drive any size toothed gear. Propellors can be used for model airplanes as well as fan mechanisms, including solar fan-cars and fan-boats. CD-hubs are provided so that CD’s can also be used for wheels.

15 x 1 watt (2 volt x 500 mAmp) solar panels. Use the AA battery holder for solar battery-charging. Components can be dis-assembled and used over and over again, to build a wide variety of solar-electric machines.

“I am very pleased with the materials and have been showing the panels and motor to others already their reactions are consistently one of being amazed.”

D.M.

“These kits are a lot more hands-on than the last group I purchased and I am sure the students will enjoy the project quite a lot more.”

J.F.

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

A.M.

“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.

“I really appreciate your concern with quality. It will ultimately make a better experience for our students. Thanks again!”

R.S.

“I just wanted to send a thank you for the fast shipping of the solar car kit I ordered. It is a blessing to get good value and fast service.”

B.K.

“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!

Stacy Radford-Vincent

“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!”

W.B.

“I’ve always appreciated how much your kits bring out the “maker” in kids! … I’m over the moon that we will get to be using them.”

Hanna B

“About our solar panels -By far the best that I have found”
