SEK Alternative Energy Conversion Kit

Product Description

A fantastic self contained kit which is perfect for introducing students to a wide range of topics surrounding energy, energy conversion and energy transfer. Students can investigate the differences between petrol and diesel engines using the Fire Piston to demonstrate compression ignition (diesel) and the acrylic tube to demonstration petrol combustion. Using the hand generator to power the model car, the concepts of polarity can be introduced and then extended into the concepts of Work Done using the hand generator to light different ratings of lamps in the bulb holder. The concept of storing energy as potential energy can be investigated using the mounted super capacitor. The capacitor can be charged using the generator, solar cell or wind turbine to show the effectiveness of different electricity generators . The capacitor can then be used to power the motor, lamps, model car or turbine. All spares are available separately upon request. Topics introduced include: 1. Combustion Engines (1 Experiment) 2. Sun – Photovoltaics (4 Experiments) 3. Hydro Power (1 Experiment) 4. Thermal Power (1 Experiment) 5. Wind Power (1 Experiment) 6. Energy Storage (2 Experiments) Kit consisting of: ?
