With the 4M Salt Energy Robot science kit, you'll build a small active robot that can ride on a homemade salt battery. Young technicians from the age of 8 will like to build a working model.
Follow the instructions with drawings to fold a mini-robot step by step and "revive" it with a solution of salt, adding a pipette to the battery cartridge. Watch the robot ride fast on its wheels! The set demonstrates the operation of the magnesium-air battery, introduces the basics of electrochemistry. The instructions contain a detailed explanation of the principle of operation, interesting facts about different types of batteries.
This research project develops the ability to assemble devices according to schemes, perform accurate work by hand, find and correct errors in devices, patiently complete the work. With the sets of the Green Science series, children get acquainted with the basics of physics and chemistry in practice (without the use of gadgets). The research kit is suitable for home and STEAM educational courses.
The kit has won 4 awards at specialized exhibitions in Italy, Germany, Hong Kong and the United States from 2013 to 2016.
Included: 2 hands, battery holder, housing, measuring spoon for charcoal, support, hinge, battery cartridge, axle with gear and wheels, axle with wheels, activated carbon package, pipette, water tank, 2 screws, motor with wires and contacts, 4 magnesium plates , 4 fabric plates, 2 copper plates. Additionally required (not included) salt and spoon. No batteries required.
