Build five models including a helicopter, solar-bot, moon rover, stag beetle, and praying mantis Learn about harnessing and using solar power Experiment with motors, gears, and simple machines In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the sun. Solar energy directly powers photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors. Indirectly, we get power from plants grown by the sun, oceans heated by the sun, and Earth’s weather systems sustained by the sun. Even the energy stored in fossil fuels originated as energy from the sun, captured by plants and animals millions of years ago. Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building five awesome models and conducting experiments with them, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. Start with a simple helicopter model that converts sunlight into a rotating motion and demonstrates the basics of solar technology. Continue your experiments by constructing increasingly complex models: a solar-bot, a moon rover, and a stag beetle. Finally, build a cool praying mantis model that moves like an insect and is powered by a solar cell. The models can also be powered by a battery, allowing operation in all lighting conditions. There are 138 parts, which are compatible with other Thames & Kosmos physics and engineering kits. The 48-page book offers illustrated step-by-step instructions for the projects.

Inadequate
Have had the brush for 2 weeks. Brushed 7 pieces of my macrame project. Half the brush have sunken behind the rubber part of the brush, unusable. I used pliers to pull out some of the wire brush part. Not sure it will be sufficient to do the jobs I purchased it for.

100% in love ❤️
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
If you're on the fence about this blanket like I was, I can confidently tell you - Just buy it! This blanket has become my new emotional support blanket. Immediately out of the box I knew this was going to be luxurious. You can Immediately feel the incredible softness and weight, with the visual attention to detail and beautiful coloration. This blanket was definitely well made and worth the price. I can't get enough of the touch and feel of the faux fur, it is beyond soft and tranquil. I sometimes use it in place of my bed comforter because of how amazing it feels on the skin. It is quite hefty, with an estimated weight of 10 pounds with the 60 x 80 size, but I feel as though it adds to the luxurious comfort. I also love how it will keep you warm, but it won't make you sweat. It still has a cooling effect. You will not regret buying this blanket - Treat yourself!

Talk about SOFT!!!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 50"x60"
Definitely a premium product! Softness is a 10/10 very little shedding and the stitching is solid. Medium to heavy weighted throw blanket. Picture is exactly what u get in person. It’s very cool to the touch and again so soft and dense. I lay with it on me watching tv and it’s definitely a sensory thing, I can’t stop touching it. Best blanket I ever had. The material underneath is very soft as well and keeps you warm. I bought the matching pillow case and it’s equally just as good. In my opinion it’s worth the money if u have it to spend. I plan on getting the bigger size blanket on prime day.

GORGEOUS!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
Large and durable faux fur that is heavy and keeps you warm. It is so soft and fluffy. Super good quality and I love the champagne color. The cotton content is perfect and feels extremely soft on the skin. The price is high even though I bought it on sale. The value is worth it and I will buy another one when it goes on sale!
