Picture this: you’re stranded on a desert island with none of
the comforts of home. To survive, you must learn how to harness
the power of the Sun and wind as well as tap the energy of other
physical forces. This is the scenario that you’re prompted to
imagine when you start to build the Power House. The Power House
provides an engaging introduction to regenerative energy sources
while teaching basic concepts and principles in physical
science. The kit focuses on the heat and light energy from the
Sun, energy from the wind, as well as with electrochemical and
plant energy. Learning how to transform and use these sources of
energy will help you survive on the desert island. With the
Power House, you can build a model house complete with solar
panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system, build and
operate an electric train, solar cooker, solar hot water tank,
hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, sail car, and more! A
great introduction to an attitude of conservation and renewable
energy sources, t
