Alternative Energy Learning Activities

Description:   This kit enables a number of advanced experiments, especially with GENPack generator module. Try different gear ratios, blade designs, generators, and more, in a creative, hands-on inquiry into wind energy science. This nacelle also converts for conducting weightlifting experiments, making it a great option for studying mechanical and electrical energy.

Description:   Developed in collaboration with a science teacher from Pennsylvania, our build your own solar LED Jar light is a fun and creative way to teach and learn about solar electricity. Use your own mason jar or recycled jar and build a colorful LED light that automatically comes on at night and goes off at dawn. Comes with everything you need. This kit requires soldering. Tools needed are soldering iron, solder & flux, hot glue gun, electric drill, 3V 70mA Polycrystalline Solar Panel, Dusk/dawn circuit board, 2 Bright 5mm LED's BLUE, 2 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries & Battery holder and wires.
A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this kit are being donated to help provide solar lighting solutions to disadvantaged communities in Africa.

Description:   All you need to add is a wind source, basic tools, and imagination!

Description:   The Reversible Fuel Cell combines the functions of an electrolyzer and a fuel cell into ONE device. When applying an electrical current the device acts as an electrolyzer that produces hydrogen and oxygen from de-ionized water. When applying a load, the device behaves as a fuel cell and generates electricity from hydrogen.

Description:   The Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. Explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water. Learn about what makes a solar water heating system more or less efficient.

Description:   A small scale demonstration of renewable energy, this wind generator can be used with a voltmeter or datalogger to measure and monitor output.

Description:   With this Solar Cell Kit, you can harness the power of the sun.

Description:   Use solar power to teach STEAM with ease…while charging your USB device!

Description:   Experiment with gear ratios on your wind turbine or other small projects. Adding gears to your turbine can greatly increase the generator RPM, giving you higher power output. The small 8-tooth gear fits on 2 mm driveshafts that are found on many DC generators. The gears have a keying feature that allows them to be changed quickly and easily using the included hex locks. The hex lock secures to our 9/64 inch hex-driveshaft. Hex-driveshaft not included.

Description:   Use the PEM Electrolyzer to produce hydrogen and oxygen using only pure water and an external power source. Take your pick of power sources, all available from Horizon: small solar cell, wind turbines, fuel cells, mechanical hand cranks, or batteries. Using the high-tech proton exchange membrane, this tiny electrolyzer will produce hydrogen for use in any classroom or laboratory activities.

Description:   Make the basics of renewable energies in primary education understandable and ensure lasting comprehension.
