OK, you can't ride in it, but your gerbil can. From the excellent Thames and Kosmos® company, now comes this Fuel Cell Hydrogen Powered Car. You add (2) "AA" batteries to aid the electrolytic process, but after assembly and the right priming, the hydrogen cell will power this 8" x 5" open-frame vehicle. For ages 10 and up, the kit includes a detailed 16pp instruction booklet. Good for physics instruction and good for science projects. "Today the gerbil, tomorrow the whole family!"

Sextants came along after astrolabes but before GPS. (Just like you.) They're used for finding latitude and the distance between objects, and are still the non-electric, non-satellite-dependent back-up for navigators. Ours is a beauty in solid brass with glass optical components, at a tiny price. Measures approx 4-5/8" x 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" OA and comes in a very nice wooden case. Includes instructions for use, which you're going to need unless you went to Annapolis where they still teach it because computers can still go all kaflooey. (Note that well before computers started going kaflooey, compasses and sextants lost an adventurer here and there, too, so don't call us if you and the sextant set out for Madagascar and end up in Iceland.)
