Renewable Energy Science Kit

Renewable energy is more than futuristic - and now you can discover how it works with this detailed science education kit.

Experiment with hydrogen fuel cell technology, solar energy, wind turbines, and water electrolysis! An entire miniature renewable energy system can be constructed on a miniature scale.

This renewable energy kit includes:

• a wind turbine module
• a solar photovoltaic panel
• an electrolyzer
• a PEM fuel cell
• a hydrogen storage system
• and more!

You'll get to learn the whole system step by step, configure it in different ways, and visualize the workings of clean energy principles from start to finish. A complete manual that explains the technology and defines experiments is included on CD.

Want to study renewable energy in-depth?

Turn this into a full unit study with the included Renewable Energy Science Education CD-ROM to go with the kit. It contains a 129-page digital (PDF) textbook on renewable energy by Dr. Colleen Spiegel, plus a 124-page experiment manual, flash animations to show how fuel cells work, technical support, and a kit assembly guide.

The textbook includes seven chapters that cover topics such as:

• climate change,
• solar energy,
• wind energy,
• electrolysis,
• fuel cells,
• hydrogen power,
• and electronics

The material in this Renewable Energy Kit is appropriate for middle school through high school, with advanced topics for the upper-grade levels. Compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/7.
