Stirling Engine
Car & Experiment Kit
ACS Topic: Energy Forms, Alternative Energies.
ACS Relevance: Investigate heat transfer and changes in energy in a
simple mechanical device.
Discover the Stirling engine, a simple, clean and efficient energy technology
that is quickly becoming a viable source of electricity as the availability of
fossil fuels declines.
The Stirling engine in this kit uses renewable energy from the sun or a
methylated spirits burner to eventually drive an electric car.
Named after its inventor, Robert Stirling, the original Stirling engine
dates back almost 200 years. Like a steam engine, a Stirling engine is
a heat engine that converts heat energy into mechanical work, usually to
drive a generator that then converts the mechanical energy into electricity.
Instead of water and steam a Stirling engine uses an enclosed volume of
gas, such as air or helium, to perform the mechanical work.
Stirling engines are highly efficient, can operate very quietly and can
use many different sources of heat: combustion of fuels, nuclear fission,
geothermal or solar heat as this model uses.
This kit’s Stirling Engine is located in a charging station with a mirrored
parabolic dish. The dish focuses the sun’s rays onto the cylindrical glass
bulb of the Stirling engine to heat it up. As the air inside the bulb heats up it
pushes a piston which then turns an electric generator. A built-in voltmeter
shows how much electricity is produced to charge a rechargeable battery
(not included) in the car. The car is moved by an electric motor powered
by the battery.
The kit includes a full colour 32 page manual and a methylated spirits
burner to heat the Stirling engine when solar power is not available.

Hydrogen Powered Car
ACS Relevance: Investigate different forms of energy that can be
Thames & Kosmos’ original model fuel cell car demonstrates the simplicity
and efficiency of hydrogen technology in a tangible, hands-on way. With
this kit you can assemble a model car that runs on water!
The fuel cell car in this kit uses a unique reversible fuel cell that splits
water into hydrogen and oxygen gas using electric current from a battery
pack. These gases are stored in clear tanks located at the back of the
vehicle.
When the battery pack is removed and the electric motor is connected
to the fuel cell module, the hydrogen and oxygen recombine and produce
electricity, a little bit of water is also produced as a by-product. The
electricity then powers the electric motor which rotates and in turn drives
the car forward.
Because hydrogen, oxygen and water are safe and clean chemicals,
this type of fuel cell is environmentally friendly and does not produce
hazardous emissions.
It takes about five minutes to split enough water to fill the tanks with
hydrogen and oxygen, the car will run for 5 to 10 minutes on full tanks.

Eco-Battery Vehicles
The Future of Electric Cars
ACS Topic: Chemical Reactions and Alternative Energy.
ACS Relevance: Investigate how different forms of energy can be used to
generate electricity. Electrochemical cell reactions are also investigated.
It’s looking increasingly likely that electric vehicles will be the cars of the
future. More specifically, battery electric vehicles (BEV’s) that are powered
entirely by rechargeable chemical cells are starting to become practical
and many major car manufacturers have BEV’s in development or on the
road.
The challenge in making BEV’s a viable transportation solution is the
battery.
Batteries must be easy to recharge, be able to hold enough charge to
drive long distances and be more efficient than gasoline engines. Scientists
and engineers around the world are tackling this battery challenge and
major progress is being made.
In this kit, you can build and experiment with a new type of
environmentally friendly battery (“fuel cell”). The battery in the kit is a metalair electrochemical cell which is ideal for demonstrating battery technology
because it does not use harmful chemicals instead it uses magnesium
plates, salt water and atmospheric oxygen to generate electricity. Ecofriendly magnesium can be safely harvested from sea water.
Build 20 different models and power them with this special battery.
Experiment with different concentrations of salt to see how long your
battery can run. Learn about electrochemistry and battery technology.
One metal plate lasts as much as six times longer than a regular AA
battery (six plates included).

make coloured flames using different chemicals and craft a blazing witch’s
breath.
• In the water show, you will defy gravity with water, make water vanish
into thin air, bend a spoon and a stream of water, repel water with your
fingertips and make a fire-resistant balloon.
• The carbon dioxide show gives you a stage to make a self-inflating
balloon and a self-destructing bottle and command soap bubbles to rest
on an invisible pond.
• In the candle show, you will light a candle with water, light a candle
remotely and magically extinguish candles in four ways.
• For encores, you can watch mystical glowing black snakes grow from
a pile of powder, turn red “fruit punch” into purple “grape juice,” make
sparkling fireworks from an orange and turn “milk” into a solid and back
into a liquid again.
The 64 page, full colour comic-book style manual guides you through
the preparation and performance of 25 shows. The manual instructs you
how to conduct each experiment, explains what is happening scientifically
and gives you stage directions for executing it smoothly and safely like a

Science as a Human Endeavour
The 100 Most Significant Experiments and
Discoveries of All Time
ACS Topic: Science History.
ACS Relevance: Learn about the nature and development of science
through some key historical experiments and inventions.
Embark on an active research expedition through the history of science and
technology. Learn about famous scientists and inventors, like Archimedes,
Copernicus, Einstein, Watt and Darwin, as you reproduce their groundbreaking experiments. Read about each scientist and their times, what
they did and how they did it and then see it yourself firsthand!
From the Stone Age to modern times, the history of science comes to
life in front of you in this tangible, hands-on format. This comprehensive
kit covers the accomplishments of over 140 scientists and numerous
civilisations.
Dive into the clever book-shaped box and immerse yourself in the
studies that enthralled the brightest scientific minds that ever lived.
As you conduct experiments with more than 94 parts your work-space
will quickly resemble the labs of these legendary scientists.
Young historians and scientists alike will be captivated by this overview of
the history of science. The 96 page, full colour experiment book contains a
wealth of interesting historical information, giving context to the scientists
and their work. The book is designed to resemble a scientist’s lab journal
from the past and covers the history of science in these nine chapters:

Science (ACS). To aid teachers and home educators we have included the relevant Australian curriculum topic, strand and year(s) along with a brief
description of the product’s relevance. Note: no kit in itself covers everything in a curriculum topic.
