Green toys: The amazing 7 in1 Rechargeable Solar Transformers

For folks who grew up in before the internet became an everyday necessity, model making and make believe games were all the rage. We could conjure toys out of empty cartons, cardboard boxes, cans of soup and anything that would make a noise or resemble a car or an aeroplane.

The kids who grew up with the internet, sadly never got to experience the thrill of pretending that a cardboard box can be a house or that an empty matchbox can be a remote control that can turn younger siblings into command-obeying zombie-robots! But all hope is not lost for the parent who wants his kid to experience the thrill of make believe games while teaching them a valuable lesson about how renewable energy works thanks to this 7 in 1 Solar Transformers kit.

7 in1 Solar Rechargeable Solar Transformers
The kit basically features a snap together plastic components, a solar panel and a battery station. The components can be snapped together to firm two power charging stations- one solar charging station and a battery charging station- and five type of vehicles including a concept race car, a dump truck, a bulldozer, a concept roadster and a solar car. Kids can either play with one type of vehicle or transform them as and when required and create their own Transformers style plays.

 The 7 in1 Rechargeable Solar Transformers can be charged via an AC outlet in around 5 seconds or via the solar panel that takes around 120 seconds to fully back up the battery. Unfortunately the battery lasts only for about a maximum of 80 seconds which might be a bit of a problem for modern kids with instant gratification needs.


On the plus side, the kid allows children to exercise their creativity and imagination and learn how to make models and how renewable energy can be used in everyday life. If the kit is able to get your kid away from his MMORPG even for a single Sunday afternoon, we’d say it would be totally worth the $26.95 that you spend on it.

Rechargeable battery pack

Care of energy has been one of the topics of each Government and non-governmental bodies during the past years, since the implementation of various measures to promote the use of Renewable energies, to policies that benefit those users who have a rational energy use, so what the utility offered by rechargeable batteries not only helps this, but in the care of the environment.

Mainly the rechargeable batteries are used in the world of transport, not only in automobiles and large size vehicles, but in light vehicles such as golf carts, bikes electric and motorized wheelchairs, among other uses. We will then give a brief overview of its operation and technologies that are used.
Rechargeable batteries constantly perform chemical reactions of type electrically reversible, being two fundamental processes responsible for its functioning:

Exhaustion of the electrical equipment of the battery while it generates an electric current.Electric recharge of materials when you generate a reverse reaction, requiring an external power source.
There are batteries and rechargeable batteries of different sizes and utilities, which may be combinations of chemical products, standing out mainly as follows:

Lead-ácidoNíquel cadmium (Nomencladas in its periphery as NiCd) free hydride (Nomencladas as NiMH) Ion lithium (Li-Ion) polymer (Li-Ion polymer) lithium-ion

Rechargeable batteries with spring

The constant use of different portable devices has as disadvantage the logical exhaustion of the rechargeable batteries given that autonomy, so often is necessary we look how long a full charge of acquiring one, either ease that possess the recharging time.

To solve two problems in one is that this auto-recargable battery, which can be extended almost eternal shaped autonomy of our devices, inspired by the operation of ancient clocks to rope that they decorate and adorn the walls of the houses has been presented with Japanese designers or some toys that using similar mechanism obtained their mobility (cars to friction, for example)

Its interior contains a spiral spring connecting to a mini-generador that begins to rotate generating energy to recharge the Nickel hydride metallic, material found in a lot of batteries and have the necessary electrical energy that our devices continue to function.

To sum up its operation, simply we must turn its mechanism in a time shift in order to compress the spring, which will launch its mechanism of clock which in turn starts to operate your generator.
