Physics Educational Materials

Chipboard is a stiff, easy to cut, lightweight, low cost, and recyclable material used to make simple wind turbine blades.

Build Your Own Fuel Cell Car!

This kit enables a number of advanced experiments, especially with GENPack generator module. Try different gear ratios, blade designs, generators, and more, in a creative, hands-on inquiry into wind energy science. This nacelle also converts for conducting weightlifting experiments, making it a great option for studying mechanical and electrical energy.

Great For Experiments That Require More Power.

With this collection of science kits, you and your students can explore the concepts behind and the many applications of solar hydrogen, direct methanol, and other fuel cell technologies.

Use the PEM Electrolyzer to produce hydrogen and oxygen using only pure water and an external power source. Take your pick of power sources, all available from Horizon: small solar cell, wind turbines, fuel cells, mechanical hand cranks, or batteries. Using the high-tech proton exchange membrane, this tiny electrolyzer will produce hydrogen for use in any classroom or laboratory activities.

The Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. Explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water. Learn about what makes a solar water heating system more or less efficient.

Experiment with gear ratios on your wind turbine or other small projects. Adding gears to your turbine can greatly increase the generator RPM, giving you higher power output. The small 8-tooth gear fits on 2 mm driveshafts that are found on many DC generators. The gears have a keying feature that allows them to be changed quickly and easily using the included hex locks. The hex lock secures to our 9/64 inch hex-driveshaft. Hex-driveshaft not included.

Developed in collaboration with a science teacher from Pennsylvania, our build your own solar LED Jar light is a fun and creative way to teach and learn about solar electricity. Use your own mason jar or recycled jar and build a colorful LED light that automatically comes on at night and goes off at dawn. Comes with everything you need. This kit requires soldering. Tools needed are soldering iron, solder & flux, hot glue gun, electric drill, 3V 70mA Polycrystalline Solar Panel, Dusk/dawn circuit board, 2 Bright 5mm LED's BLUE, 2 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries & Battery holder and wires.
A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this kit are being donated to help provide solar lighting solutions to disadvantaged communities in Africa.
