The Thames and Komos Power House teaches kids age ten and up how it's possible to live sustainably by harnessing energy from the sun, wind and earth. The kit comes with 10 building projects including a solar collector and wind generator.
The Thames and Kosmos Power House aims to show youngsters how easy it is to live green by harnessing energy from their natural surroundings. The 10 building projects include a green house, solar cell array, a passive solar collector, solar oven, air conditioner, refrigerator, hydrometer, lemon battery and wind power generator. There are also experiments in heating, cooling and insulation.
