Power House Experimental Kit

Sustainable Living in the 21st Century. Build and use an alternative energy model house and 20 other energy-related devices. Learn how about energy from the sun, wind, plants and electro-chemical reactions. Discover how to transform, store and use these forms of energy with real working models. Ages 12 and up

Consider a future without  dependence upon fossil fuels
  
Power House provides an engaging introduction to regenerative energy sources while teaching basic concepts and principles in physical science. The kit focuses on the heat and light energy from the sun, the energy from the wind, as well as with electrochemical and plant energy. You will learn how to transform and use these forms of energy.

 With the Power House kit you can build a model house complete with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system. You can build and operate an electric train, windmill, solar cooker, solar hot water tank, hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, sail car, and more! Plant watercress, prepare sauerkraut, and make chewing gum. Learn how plants convert sunlight into energy for your body and your engines.

The thoughtfully designed series of experiments was developed by physicist Uwe Wandrey. Professor Wandrey creatively integrates physical science and technology lessons with the adventure of building a home and living on a remote island. To survive, you must learn how to harness the power of the sun and the wind as well as tap the energy of other physical forces. The storyline follows the experiments in a stepwise fashion. Easy-to-follow activities make it fun to build models and use them for your experiments.

 Power House designers  hope that building small models such as are provided in Power House will inspire you to plan and construct something on a larger scale.
