This wooden generator science kit is a build-it-yourself model: press out the plywood parts, fit the small motor, belt and wiring, and the finished model shows how turning motion becomes electricity. On the hand-crank version, you turn a large wooden wheel that drives the motor through a belt and the bulb lights up; on the fan version, spinning the red fan blades turns the motor to light a red bulb. The finished model measures about 14.8 × 8.3 × 12 cm. The maker grades it for ages 14 and up. It is part of our Toys & Games collection.
