POWERplus Racehorse Saltwater Toy Motorcycle

A new idea for the saltwater-powered vehicle range! POWERplus® Racehorse from the POWERplus® Junior line is another fascinating DIY educational set aimed at educating children about alternative energy sources. Build an amazing motorcycle that runs thanks to a few drops of salt water!

This unique set allows young designers (age 10+) to build a motorcycle model from scratch that not only runs without batteries, but also has a self-balancing system! After assembling and adding saltwater fuel, watch the Racehorse move, maintaining balance and performing various maneuvers. It's an engaging science lesson and great fun all in one!

Main Benefits of the POWERplus® Racehorse Kit:

• Revolutionary Salt Water Drive: Unique Mg-Air fuel cell technology - the motorcycle runs on ordinary salt water!
• Self-Balance System: Allows the motorcycle to maintain an upright position and perform various maneuvers.
• Versatile Movement Possibilities: Thanks to its special design, the motorcycle can gostraight, circle tothe left or right and makeS-turns.
• STEM Education by Building: The child learns about how fuel cells work, the conversion of chemical energy into electrical and mechanical energy, and the basics of mechanics and balance.
• Do It Yourself (DIY) Satisfaction: The joy of building a working, self-balancing model yourself.
• 100% Battery Free: Clean, eco-friendly drive that doesn't require purchasing or disposing of batteries.
• Skill Development: Building a model exercises precision, patience, the ability to read instructions and solve technical problems.

Self Balancing Design and Various Riding Modes:

What makes the Racehorse model stand out is its ability to maintain its own balance while riding. Thanks to this, it can not only drive straight, but also turn and drive in circles without tipping over. Special settings allow you to select various driving modes, including spectacular "S" turns.

How does it work? (Salt Water Mg-Air Fuel Cell):

The heart of the Racehorse vehicle is a special Magnesium-Air (Mg-Air) fuel cell. It consists of an anode made of a replaceable magnesium (Mg) plate, an air cathode and a non-woven fabric membrane. After adding a few drops of salt water (a solution of table salt in tap water), which acts as an electrolyte, an electrochemical reaction occurs between the magnesium anode and the cathode (using oxygen from the air), generating an electric current that powers the motorcycle engine.

Important Information (Fuel and Operation - Read Carefully!):

• "Fuel": Operation requires a self-prepared solution of table salt (NaCl) in ordinary tap water (a few drops added with a pipette).
• Ride Time on One Fill: Adding salt water to the cell once usually allows for approximately 15 minutes of continuous riding (similar to the Thunderbird model). After this time, clean the cell and add fresh solution.
• Cell Consumables: In the process of generating energy, the magnesium anode is used up. This is a replaceable item.
• Anode Life: One magnesium plate is enough for approximately 4 hours of total driving (similar to the Thunderbird model).
• Replaceable Anodes Included: The set includes 3 replaceable magnesium plates (just like in the Thunderbird model), which gives a total of approx. 12 hours of fun. Please check with your retailer for additional tiles available for purchase.
• Age: Recommended for children 10 years and older.
