Fundamentals of Hydraulics

School and university students learn about hydraulic content with this realistic educational construction kit. This new set offers hands-on technology for learning about the transfer of force using liquids. Five different models illustrate how signals and forces can be transferred with liquid media. Students can build a simple functional demonstration model, an excavator, and three other models. Combined with the accompanying educational materials, the set helps to provide a solid overview on the topic of hydraulics. The downloadable teaching and activity materials are provided free of charge on the eLearning Portal to support teachers in preparing for and designing their curricula.

Includes instructional activity information (free download)
Components include 4 control cylinders, and 4 working cylinders
Contains 475 parts for building 5 different models.
 

Fundamentals of Engineering and Construction: The ideal technology construction set for all future mechanical engineers. The areas of dynamics, statics, gears, structure, and bracing are all addressed as students learn by building models that illustrate the principles behind these concepts. This set will help students to answer questions such as:

• How does a gear box work?
• What is a planetary gear?
• How is the movement of a windshield wiper produced?
• How do you design a stable bridge?
• ...and much more.

Requires 9V battery (not included).

fischertechnik Education Pneumatics: Beginner construction set takes a learning- by-playing approach to the principles of pneumatics, with realistic models to show how pneumatic valves and cylinders work. The air is pumped manually into an air chamber. Pressing the hand valves conveys the compressed air through the hoses into the pneumatic cylinder. An excavator and four other models can be constructed. The instructional activity information for students is available online at the fischertechnik eLearning portal.
 

Includes:

• 200 parts for building 5 working pneumatic models
• Instructional activity download from the fischertechnik eLearning Portal
• 2 pneumatic cylinders
• a pump cylinder
• 2 hand vales
• and a compressed air reservoir
   

Learn and understand the principles of Solar Power with the fischertechnik Education Solar: Beginner kit. Renewable energy sources will play an increasingly significant role in future. A solar module generates electricity from the energy of the sun to move the solar boats and the solar car. Whether on water or land, the construction set is a learning-by-playing approach to solar power. The solar module and solar motor can be used to make a solar vehicle, a ventilating fan and two floating ship models ("Solar Catamaran" and "Paddle Steamer"). The instructional activity information about solar is available online (fischertechnik-eLearning.com).

STEM Pneumatics teaches the basic principles of pneumatics, and demonstrates the functioning of components like compressors, pneumatic valves and cylinders, as well as an exhaust throttle valve. The first experiments with pneumatics were conducted in the third century B.C., which led to the discovery of the extreme versatility and usefulness of compressed air. Using 8 models and 29 experiments, this kit also includes a full set of lesson plans for teachers.

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?
