How can you generate electricity in an environmentally friendly way? How does a fuel cell work, and how can it be used to generate hydrogen? Renewable energies are the most important energy sources of the future. The generation, storage and use of electricity from the natural energy sources of water, wind and sun are clearly explained using nine models and 28 experiments.

• Main topics extraction, storage and use of electric power / energy sources such as water, wind, sun and hydrogen
• Includes downloadable teaching and activity material (free download)
• Components include a solar motor (2VDC), 2 solar modules (1VDC, 400mA), a goldcap energy storage device, an LED, a fuel cell, a voltage converter, and a multimeter

Even as early as the third century, people understood how practical and exciting pneumatics is! This building set teaches the fundamentals of pneumatics in a fun way, showing how components like compressors, pneumatic valves and cylinders, and an exhaust throttle valve work using realistic models, and demonstrating why this technology has been around for such a long time. It allows young inventors to enjoy exciting adventures at home with their tractor with tree grabber, front loader or double swather.

The fischertechnik Hanging Action Tower sets a benchmark as the very first hanging marble run set in the world! Due to the clever method of attachment—courtesy of a vacuum pad—this flexible marble run can easily be affixed to any horizontal edge, such as a shelf or a cupboard. The lift in this 96cm long marble run is performed with the aid of an innovative belt system, called the fischertechnik Easy Elevator! Simple and quick to construct, this model is elegant, efficient, and perfectly suited to large altitude differences.
