The production, storage and use of electricity from natural energy sources such as water, wind and the sun are graphically illustrated using various models and numerous experiments. The perfect set for providing students with an understanding of these future energy forms.
Renewable Energies
Renewable energies will become our most important source of energy in the future. The production, storage and use of electricity from natural energy sources such as water, wind and the sun are graphically illustrated using various models and numerous experiments. The perfect set for providing students with an understanding of these future energy forms. The set includes over 300 components for building 10 different, functioning models:- Sawmill
- Water Turbine
- Windmill
- Wind Power Station
- Ventilating Fan
- Ferris Wheel
- Helicopter
- Bicycle Rider
- Solar Vehicle
- Solar Charging Station
- Electric Vehicle
Includes a full color 66 page booklet with detailed instructions for building all of the above models, along with a multi-language black and white teaching guide on Energy from Renewable Sources. This guide discusses:
- Oil
- Coal
- Nuclear Power
- Water, Wind, Sun
- Energy
- Converting Water, Wind and Solar Energy Into Electricity
- Storing Electrical Energy
...and more.
Set also includes Solar Motor, Solar Module (1.2V; 440mA) and Gold Cap Energy Storage Unit.

Additional Information for Educators and Administrators
Products: Profi Oeco Tech (item #505284) and Hydro Cell Kit (item #505285)
Use in classes addressing the following topics:
Science, Renewable Energies, Green Building, Architecture & Drawing, possibly Physics.
Specific concepts addressed with these sets:
- Renewable Energy –it’s production and use.
- Energy and its everyday uses.
- Different types of energy-- fossil fuels (natural gas, oil and coal), nuclear energy, and energy from renewable sources such as wind, water and sun.
Water Energy
Study the principle behind a hammer-forge and sawmill powered by water energy. Build a model of a sawmill to explore its functions. Next learn about converting water energy into electricity with a water turbine, then build a working model to study the principles behind it and how it functions.
Wind Energy
Examine the principle behind a windmill turning kinetic energy into rotational energy. Build a model of a windmill to study its function. Learn how wind energy is converted into electricity with a generator. Convert your windmill model into a wind power station to study how this occurs.
Solar Energy
What is it? Learn about converting solar energy into electricity and the principle behind how a solar cell works. Build a ventilating fan to see how this occurs—experiment with brightness needed to make the motor turn, and use an ampere-meter and volt-meter (not included) to measure the voltage at which the motor begins to turn and what current is flowing.
Build additional solar powered models of a Ferris wheel with a gear system, a bicycle rider and a helicopter. Answer questions and perform experiments with each.
Next, build a solar powered vehicle and experiment with brightness needed to cause vehicle to travel, and with the effect light intensity has on speed. Build a solar charging station and convert the vehicle to an electric vehicle with a Goldcap Energy storage unit.
w/ Hydro Cell Kit (sold separately):
Learn the principle behind how a Fuel Cell works. Experiment with the fuel cell and ventilating fan model, bicycle rider and/or the Ferris wheel. Measure how much hydrogen is consumed by each in a specific time period. Then build a hydro fuel cell powered vehicle with solar station and study the hydrogen consumption.
Build a second solar powered vehicle, and a solar saw to experiment with both parallel and series connections of solar modules.
Study inverse –parallel connection of solar modules by building a model of a parking barrier. Students are to draw a sketch to clearly show how reversing the rotational direction of the motor in this model occurs when one solar module is darkened.
Solar Tracking---learn the principle behind how solar tracking works by constructing a model of a solar tracker.
Parallel connection of fuel cell and solar modules—build a model of a pump to experiment with how such a connection functions both in full sunlight and in it’s absence.
