Since we don't want to spend our golden years pouring gold into the pockets of Middle Eastern oil cartels and homegrown utility companies, we encourage science students to explore solar cells. Exposed to light, even these small modules will power DC motors, charge batteries, or run an eye-popping science project. 92481 is 2-9/16" x 3-5/8". All are enclosed and have leads.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
And teach a kid (8 and up) the basics of solar power. This excellent educational kit comes with (9) 0.5VDC solar cells pre-wired in sets of (3) and mounted in a 5" x 4" x 7/16" black-plastic frame with screw terminals on the bottom. The kit includes a 1.5VDC motor with leads and a mount, a fan blade and (4) plastic discs from 5/8" dia to 2" dia for mounting on the motor shaft, a 1.5V incandescent bulb with leads, a sound module with leads, and graphic cards to mount on the discs. Comes with a 14-page instruction/experiment booklet, including info on increasing voltage and amperage, powering battery charges, radios, games, etc. Lots of science project potential. "Heuristic as all get-out," Jarvis said when he saw it.

Or usin' it up? This nice solar cell is made to prevent battery drain in cars, boats, snowmobiles (or anything else with a 12-volt) during storage or because you're running stuff like cell phones, laptops, or various pods off of said battery. Rated for 12VDC 120mA, it measures 14-3/4" x 6-1/4" x 3/4" OA with an 11-3/4" x 4" cell. The 91" cord leads to a fused and polarity-protected cigarette-lighter plug. Has 14.7 VDC output with no load, an LED indicator, and weatherproof housing. Works in all weather, even low-light and cloudy conditions.

makes me happy. It also gives me, and your favorite bright child, a head start on the energy future, as long as we both have this kit. The Tree of Knowledge® kit includes 150 experiments and activities in solar power, light rays, heat, lenses, mirrors, electrochemistry and more. It includes a 60pp manual plus myriad parts, including a solar cell, motor, parabolic mirror, LED, diode and resistor. Add a few common household items and kids 10 and over can start making the internal combustion engine obsolete.
