New OWI Educational RobotiKits™: Salt Water Fuel Cell Giant Arachnid Kit

New educational Salt Water Fuel kit for Kids

OWI, Inc.®, a leading supplier of fun, educational RobotiKits™ has added to their award-winning line of robot building kits for all levels of experience with the introduction of the brand new Salt Water Fuel Cell Giant Arachnoid Kit.

Opportunity for kids to learn while playing

This environmentally and kid-friendly concept reflects the new, cleaner ways we think about automobile production and demonstrates first hand to children a more effective utilization of our natural resources.

Building on the success of OWI's award winning Salt Water Fuel Cell Car, the second generation appears to be just as dynamic...maybe a little frightening. The Salt Water Fuel Cell Giant Arachnoid Kit gives children a chance to learn about new forms of clean energy, while building and powering their very own toy: Feed it saltwater and watch it scurry away!

Kids will be awed by the remarkable simplicity and outright creepiness its eight-legged movement produces. After activating the fuel cell module with a saltwater mixture, the magnesium metal sheet (3 sheets included) can operate the Spider for about 5-7 hours continuously. Because of these life-like similarities, the user may want to stop this insectoid. It is easy, simply take out the fuel cell module and rinse with tap water and dry.

All the materials used in this kit are environmentally safe and clean, non-toxic substances or disposal concerns. It will not produce heat, so it is completely safe for child's play.

Built on experience of building educational toys for kids

Building on the success of OWI's award winning Salt Water Fuel Cell Car, the second generation is definitely bigger and badder. The Salt Water Fuel Cell Monster Truck Kit is equipped with four-wheel drive mechanical construction. It easily handles different types of terrain by its twisted car body design. It has two transformable engine blocks: V engine or flat engine. The transparent case design allows children to see the rhythm of the piston in vertical or horizontal position. Each monster wheel can change its angle individually and the truck can change its height and shape. Forward and reverse...no problem; simply switch the "positive and negative" connectors. Pretty radical stuff... Oh, by the way, did we mention that it is fueled by salt water. The Salt Water Fuel Cell Monster Truck gives children a chance to learn about new forms of clean energy, while building and powering their very own kit: Just add saltwater and roar!
