Solar Power For Kids

Phillip Said:

I'm looking for a solar powered insect catcher for kids - any ideas?

We Answered:

hi skiddo. ive just bought molly an ant farm. had never seen one before and came across it by mistake. its amazing to watch the ants carrying bread and bits of wood to make nests. its basically two panes of glass and the ants live inside.. lol you have to catch the ants first though. oh in answer to your question we just use good ole fashioned jam jars with grass.. shhh the rspca will be banging down the door

Anyone see the new computer generated John Lennon advert?

We Answered:

Yoko sold out, again. John would flip in his grave if he knew. He hated commercialism, even for charity.

What is a good idea for a simple solar powered toy?

We Answered:

Goo ball thing

light sensor .
Sound sensor .
Color changer .
Caterpillar tracks as landing pad.


It could interlock with other ones if it had a sort of geometric
shape.like a tripod'y alien'y sort of with mobile solar docking station thing


Or a nice simple organic mathematical shape with a light in.


There could be a bath toy version .
If something could sense what was in the bath water it could serve
as a bath alarm.

The base unit with caterpillar tracks would be the landing pad and could have the solar power grid attached and could have features such as opaque tracks or another light .

Tracks can have interesting shapes incorporated in to them.
and could be opaque.

A feature could be a sensor that engaged an evasive maneuver to avoid been stepped on.
