The Renewable Energy Racers Set helps entertain and educate children about different forms of environmentally friendly energy. The three remote control cars each use a different energy source to power them, either wind, solar or hydrogen.
The Renewable Energy Racers Set allows you to race and compare different green energy sources. Each remote control car is powered by a different source of energy, a solar panel, a wind turbine and a hydrogen fuel cell are provided. Each car has its own remote which provides the user with control to change the movement both left and right and forwards and backwards. The Solar panel can provide a race car with up to 20 minutes of driving time from only a 10-30 minute charge although this is dependent on the brightness of the sunlight available. The wind turbine can also provide 20 minutes of driving time from a 10-30 minute charge, and in this case it is dependent on the strength of the wind the turbine is placed in. The hydrogen fuel cell can provide a car with 5 minutes of run time from a 3 minute charge.
The Renewable Energy Racers Set helps to demonstrate the potential of the different eco-friendly energy sources, showing the strengths and weaknesses of each. Which power source is ‘best’ will vary, as of course the wind turbine will provide a better charge on a windy day, the solar panel on a sunny one. The set includes a manual that explains the science behind each of the power sources. The racer set is a great way to get children interested in green energy and to help educate them on its benefits through play.
The Renewable Energy Racers Set is yours for just $89.95, and would make an ideal Christmas pressie!
