| "ELECTRIC GENERATOR" Science Kit Description:
Build Hand-Crank Powered Vehicles & Machines!
Build your own electric vehicles and machines, and then power them up with a hand-crank generator that makes and stores electricity.
Experiment with your electric generator and your models: Alter the crank-time and the crank-frequency and see how these variables affect the performance of your cars and machines. A great idea for a science fair project!
Compete with your friends to see whose car runs fastest and farthest!
The hand-crank generator doubles as an LED flashlight.
During the experiments you will learn the physics of energy and force, and applying work and storing energy.
