Experiments - posted from Martinez, GA
There are several experiments that explore alternative energy. You can build a little solar car, make a tiny wind turbine, and several others. There are even kits that explore solar, wind, and water energy in the same kit. Barnes & Noble, Amazon, sometimes even Toys 'R Us, and many other places sell them.
