POWERplus Solar Recycler Toy Set

Turn ordinary "junk" into amazing, working solar toys! The POWERplus® Solar Recycler 6in1 educational set from the POWERplus® Junior line is a unique adventure with learning and creativity that shows children (and adults!) how to use both clean solar energy and unnecessary recycled items.

This innovative DIY kit includes special construction parts, a solar panel and a motor. The magic is that to build as many as 6 different moving models, you have to combine these elements with items that usually end up in the trash: old CDs/DVDs, a PET plastic bottle and aluminum cans! The finished models come to life and move thanks to solar energy - without any batteries!

Main Benefits of the POWERplus® Solar Recycler Kit:

• A unique combination of recycling and solar energy: A double lesson in ecology in practice - teaches about renewable energy sources and shows how to creatively use waste (CDs, cans, bottles).
• As many as 6 Different Eco-Models in 1 Set: Guarantee of long hours of creative fun in building and experimenting with various structures (listed below).
• Hands-on STEM Learning: An engaging introduction to the principles of solar energy, electric motors, mechanics, and the fundamentals of engineering and design using recycling.
• Development of Imagination and Manual Skills: Inspires creative thinking and exercises precision, patience and the ability to follow instructions.
• 100% Ecological Solar Drive: The models move only thanks to the free energy of the sun, without the need for batteries.
• Raising Ecological Awareness: Draws attention to the problem of waste and shows the positive aspects of recycling and upcycling in a tangible way.
• Immense Building Satisfaction: The joy of creating a working toy from "nothing" on your own.

Build up to 6 Unique Eco-Models!

This extraordinary set allows you to construct as many as six different, creative models, each of which uses both parts from the set and recycled materials you collect in a different way. The models move thanks to solar energy:

• Model 1: Street Roller - Drives forward. (Uses: 1 can, 2 CDs)
• Model 2: Walking Robot - It walks. (Uses: 1 can, 2 CDs)
• Model 3: Bottle Yacht - It floats on the water and turns the propeller. (Uses: 1 PET bottle)
• Model 4: Drummer Robot - Moves the sticks by hitting the can. (Uses: 1 can, 1 CD)
• Model 5: Flying Bird - It rotates by moving its wings. (Uses: 2 CDs)
• Model 6: CD Racer - Drives forward. (Uses: 3 CDs)

Each model is a new design challenge and a demonstration of creative recycling in action!

How does it work? (Waste and Sun in Action):

The solar panel (photovoltaic cell) included in the set collects light energy and converts it directly into electric current. This current powers a small motor, which sets the built model in motion through a gear system. The models only work (move) when the solar panel is exposed to direct, bright sunlight - they do not store energy.

Double Ecology Lesson (Learning by Creating):

The Solar Recycler Kit is a unique educational tool. A child (recommended age 8+) not only learns the basics of photovoltaics and mechanics, but also sees with his/her own eyes how objects considered garbage (empty cans, a bottle, old CDs) can gain a new life and become part of a working, fascinating toy. It's a practical lesson in the importance of recycling and renewable energy.
