A Science Kit for the 21st Century! This new Fuel Cell Kit provides a playful introduction to one of the most significant technologies of the 21st Century. With this kit you can build a car that actually runs on water! Pour in the water and watch it separate into hydrogen and oxygen, forming a gas to power your vehicle across the floor. Now that we have your attention, roll up your sleeves and find out more through experiments and demonstrations you can do on your own, in a classroom or with friends. Fuel cells are one of the most promising means of producing energy in the future. Because they do not consume fossil fuels they are considered environmentally friendly. Automobile manufacturers are already experimenting successfully with this technology and it is widely believed that fuel cells will become the energy source for automobiles in the near future. With this unique kit, you can build your own experimental reversible fuel cell car to learn more about this energy source. With more than 30 experiments and demonstrations, users will learn how a reversible fuel cell works to perform electrolysis as well as to create energy. The electricity required to activate electrolysis is created with a large solar cell included with the kit. During electrolysis, water is separated into hydrogen and oxygen and the resulting energy is stored as a gas. When needed, the gas is fed into the fuel cell, which then serves as the power source. The Fuel Cell kit also includes a digital MultiMate which measures currents and voltage, allowing you to learn exactly what a fuel cell is and how it functions. The experiments and demonstrations explain the physics upon which this future technology is based. Experiments Kit contains: Complete reversible fuel cell (hydrocycle system) Wire Motor Chassis Axle Gas collector 4 Wheels Solar panel with support Syringe Tube Digital multimeter Test tube Protective goggles Labels Bag of small parts for fuel cell Bag of small electronic parts Comprehensive lab manual with 30 experiments and demonstrations (Additionally required: 1 quart of distilled water) This is by far one of the best put together packages we have ever seen. Items like this will hopefully inspire our future generations to design and build Water Powered Cars. Great for Birthdays, Camp Projects, Boy Scouts and more.
* Avoider mode - In this mode, on-board sensors help Tribotz to avoid obstacles. * Sound mode - Sounds dictate the direction of movement in this mode, as Tribotz changes direction in response to sound impulses. * Line Tracer mode - Sensors enable the robot to follow a line drawn by a felt-tipped pen.
The TriBotz will react to sound impulses and objects in its way. It will
reverse away from a sound or obstruction and then move forward. Make a path
with a black felt-tip marker or black tape and
watch how infrared sensors allow the TriBotz to make corrections.
This kit contains wonderful instructions and
educational background information on each component.

This
Robotic Car is a great introduction to soldering as well as the basics of
sound control and mechanical motion. The car has a
microphone that feeds noise to the control circuitry. When a loud
enough sound (like a clap) is heard it will cause the car to stop moving
forward and reverse itself turning slightly left for a few seconds. Then the
car will resume forward motion in a different direction. You can adjust the
circuit sensitivity so that very soft or very loud noises will reverse the
motion.
Learn motor theory, transistor switching and R/C time constant circuits.
The
Tribotz is three robots in one!
The
Antoid is a unique, beginner-level robot kit that features obstacle
