 We always put the solar grasshopper out on display when we attend public festivals. Kids always stop to check it out and end up learning a lot about solar energy. The grasshopper is a kit - it only takes a few minutes to easliy put it together. Then, the grasshopper dances "the jitterbug" whenever the sun shines on it!

 The solar frog is another hit at public festivals. Actually we leave the grasshopper and frog out together in a little "arena" and let them have at it. We're not sure if they're dancing or wrestling, but it's fun to watch and very educational. While the grasshopper does a "spaztic" dance, the frog hops in a fairly straight line.

 This little solar toy is a great way to demonstrate that solar energy works! The small solar panel is directly connected to a motor that turns the "laser disk". As it turns, all the colors of the rainbow are reflected in amazing patterns. Cover up the panel with your hand and the disk stops turning. Lift up your hand an it starts turning again. Kids love it and they learn about solar energy just from watching it. Adults also appreciate the pyschedelic colors and watching solar energy at work. Leave it on your window sill for a great conversation piece!

 This is one way anyone can use solar energy. The use of disposable batteries is one of the most wasteful and polluting technologies there is. But it's easy to quit the habit! The first step is to start using rechargeable batteries. The good news is that the technology has improved a lot in the last few years. The batteries have much more capacity, so they last longer on each charge. And, the problems with "memory" have been fixed too, particularly if you use NiMH batteries, instead of NiCd.
Once you're using rechargeables, the next step is to Go Solar! This portable charger will charge your AA rechargeable batteries, just from the sun! Charge time depends on the capacity and quantity of batteries you're charging, and the amount of sun. For practical purposes, since it can take longer to charge on solar, we recommend that you have two sets of AA rechargeables -- so you can charge up one set while you're using the other. That way you'll always have solar charged batteries ready to go!
A well made basic solar battery charger for 4 AA NiMh or NiCd batteries. Includes meter that shows you the strength of the solar energy that is charging your batteries. Includes blocking diode to prevent energy discharge at night.
Charges at maximum 160mA. 1 AA battery will charge at maximum current, 2 batteries will charge at 80mA, 3 batteries would charge at about 50mA and 4 batteries would charge at 40mA per hour of sun. 2 AA 800mAH batteries would charge in about 10 hours of full sun. Weather-resistant. Measures approx. 3" X 6" X 1.5" and weighs approximately a half pound.

 This is the "hottest" product we sell, literally! The Solar Spark Lighter is the world's only pocket size solar lighter. It is actually a stainless steel parabolic mirror, just like the one used to light the Olympic torch in Athens.
It is designed to focus the suns radiant energy to a precise focal point which can reach hundreds of degrees! We find we can light a stick of incense in just 2 seconds when the sun is shining!
