Motors And Generators
Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles we use every day. They are an essential technology in our modern world. With this kit, you can conduct 25 experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion, and how an electric generator does just the opposite, converting motion into electricity. The electric motor is made of transparent plastic to show how the inside components work. Set up the motor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works. Then reconfigure the device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator. Experiment with magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fields relate to electric current. Build simple circuits consisting of the motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity. Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and back again. The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments with step-by-step instructions.

Safety Information | WARNING! Only for use by children aged 8 years and older. Instructions for parents are included and have to be observed. Keep the packaging and instructions as they contain important information. WARNING! Not suitable for children under 8 years. This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines causing serious injuries. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed. WARNING!Not suitable for children under 3 years. Choking hazard — small parts may be swallowed or inhaled. Store the experimental material out of the reach of small children. Safety for experiments with batteries. You will need two 1.5-volt A A penlight batteries for the experiments. Due to their limited shelf life, these are not included in the kit. To insert the batteries, remove the battery box cover, place the batteries into the compartment according to the polarity markings (+ and - symbols) in the compartment, and close the cover. Never experiment with wall outlets or the household power supply. Never insert wires or other parts into wall outlets! Household voltage can be deadly. Do not use batteries together with the household power supply. Avoid short-circuiting the batteries while experimenting; they could explode! The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. Never connect the battery terminals to each other. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision. Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with environmental guidelines. |
