Key Features
Demonstrates the chain from light to electrical energy to fan rotation
A motor converts solar-generated electricity into mechanical motion
Tabletop format for classroom and laboratory demonstrations
Supports lessons on photovoltaic conversion and electric motors
About This Product
The solar element is turned towards suitable light and students watch the fan start to spin, tracing the energy sequence from light to electricity to rotation. Changing the light angle or intensity, where the model supports it, lets them compare the response. The Solar Energy Kit with Lamp can be used for wider solar-cell experiments.
