This premier solar power workshop delves deeply into the principals of alternative energy resources. In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the sun. Solar energy directly powers photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors. Indirectly, we get power from plants grown by the sun, oceans heated by the sun, and Earth’s weather systems sustained by the sun. Even the energy stored in fossil fuels originated as energy from the sun, captured by plants and animals millions of years ago. Physics Solar Workshop by Thames & Kosmos explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. The kit contains everything you need to build 12 different solar powered projects and conduct 30 experiments, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. There are 320 parts, which are also compatible with the other kits in the Physics line. The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects, developed with Greenpeace in Germany.
