## Overview

This multicolor electric motor and generator kit offers 25 engaging experiments to demonstrate how electricity converts to motion and back. Featuring a transparent motor casing for clear visibility of internal components, it requires 2 AA batteries (not included) and is designed for quick setup. Ideal for STEM learners aged 8-15, it combines magnets, gears, and circuits to provide a hands-on understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals.

## Description

Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles we use every day. 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 offers colorful step-by-step instructions.

Review: I really enjoyed assembling this kit! It had exactly what I'd wanted -- gears, magnets and coil, and a working mini generator. The kit does do a good job of illustrating the principles involved, and in a manner way more engaging than what is typically used in schools!! Or in my schools, anyway. The booklet was also very interesting. Overall, I think this item would make an excellent gift for an intellectually curious recipient!! As for its compatibility with other kits, specifically electronics, that's a good question! It does mention hooking up more than one generator together, so you ought to ask, because obviously, duh, that would be awesome! Overall, a fun purchase! Definitely giftable in my opinion.
Review: Very good for my kids (14 years old girl and 9 years old boy) to have practical understanding of very basics of electrical engineering. I have helped them to assemble and able to show them what is gear ratio, what is commutator brush DC Motor and what is DC generator with the kit. Also a nice feature when you remove the red and blue magnets then neither the generator generates electricity nor the motor runs. The toy is not that you build generator or motor on your own hand. Rather it is assembled rotor with 3 commutators and two terminals which can be mounted with plastic gears and permanent magnets to act as BDC motor or generator. The assembly is very easy and it takes maximum 5 minutes for me and 10 minutes for my kids.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ?right for boy age 8 and good at building**
A: I think so, we got a bunch of these sets (because they are modular and can work together to build more complex stuff) for our 8, now 9 year old.  He is an expert at Legos--building the 14-16 year old sets.  He found this fun and it is still on the front of the toy shelf.  T&K manuals are like mini-science books.  They have been great to re-teach the mom too :)

**Q: Seriously... gender - boy!?!  really!? girls need to know about science and engineering, as well! the gender description should be removed!**
A: Definitely for Girls, too!  I’m with you there! Amazon needs to know that Electronic learning is not gender specific to Boys and needs to put the Electronic learning category under all genders!

**Q: Does this set turn gears to make other sets parts move**
A: There are 2 gears connected to a generator through a hand crank.  There is a clear plastic cover over the gears so you can see how they mesh together as you turn the hand crank.

**Q: Is this compatible with the Thames and Kosmos Electronics learning circuits series of kits as an alternative to the battery compartmentt?**
A: I’m not sure. I didn’t purchase the circuits kit.

*by A***A on 14 July 2015*

Great kit, useful not just for 8+ but also for GCSE and IGCSE physics. I like the way you can build up the components of a motor and see why the magnets make a difference, for instance. Components feel solid and fit together well. Instruction booklet is great and streets ahead of the usual standard, with clear explanations. This kit ended up being indispensable in our KS3 science group when an alternative kit, ordered from a university science supplier, was hard to use.
