Educational Toy Car POWERplus Air Car for Compressed Air

Discover the fascinating power of compressed air with the POWERplus® Air Car educational set! This innovative project from the POWERplus® Junior line is a do-it-yourself (DIY) toy car that does not need an engine or battery to drive - it is powered only by air, which you compress yourself using a built-in pump!

Air Car is an extraordinary toy that teaches children (and adults!) about alternative, ecological energy sources and the basics of pneumatics in a practical way. Build the vehicle step by step according to the instructions, then fill its tank with compressed air, observing the readings of the built-in pressure gauge. When the tank is full, release the lock and watch your Air Car move, covering over 50 meters on one "refueling" of air!

Main Benefits of the POWERplus® Air Car Kit:

• Unique Pneumatic Drive: A fascinating experience - the car runs solely on compressed air!
• STEM Education through Building and Doing: The child learns about the energy stored in compressed air, the principles of operation of simple mechanisms, pressure (pressure gauge) and the basics of construction.
• Zero Batteries, Zero Motor: 100% ecological and cost-free drive, using only muscle power (for pumping) and air.
• Do-it-yourself (DIY) satisfaction: Great joy and pride in building a working vehicle with an unusual drive from scratch on your own.
• Impressive Range: Possibility to travel over 50 meters on one filling of the tank with air.
• Built-in Pressure Gauge: The pressure indicator shows when the tank is optimally filled and ready to ride.
• Ideal for Young Explorers: Recommended for children aged 10 and older, curious about technology and alternative energy sources.

How Does This Extraordinary Air Car Work?

The set includes a special air tank and an integrated hand pump. By pumping vigorously, you force air into the tank, increasing the pressure in it. The built-in pressure gauge shows the current pressure level - when it reaches the required value, the vehicle is ready for take-off. Once the lock is released, the compressed air is gradually released and directed to the drive mechanism, which sets the wheels in motion, allowing the car to drive until the air in the tank is exhausted.

Learning by Construction and Experimentation:

Building an Air Car model is a great lesson in mechanics and patience. The attached instructions guide you step by step through the assembly process (pliers may be needed to separate the elements from the frames). Observing the operation of the finished vehicle and the built-in pressure gauge is an excellent opportunity to talk about pressure, potential and kinetic energy, and ecological alternatives to traditional drives.
