How to Play
Connect the Solar Windmill to the Solar Power Station.
Put the Solar Power Station under the natural sunlight. Amazingly, you will see the windmill start to spin! It will keep on spinning as long as there is enough sunlight!
Suggestion
You may put the Solar Power Station on the windowsill to see the colorful
Solar Windmill automatically spins during every sunny day! It makes fabulous
decoration and is battery free too!
Warning: You may use a 100W light bulb at about 5cm away from the solar
panel for testing purpose. This way you can see that it will operate like
under ordinary sunlight. However this is for testing purpose of short period
only and not for normal use. Placing the light bulb close to the solar panel
for long may melt the plastics or damage the solar panel under the large
amount of heat.
Warning : Overheating hazards. Do not touch the solar panel.
Educational Hints
| Solar energy
The sunlight we see everyday carries energy. If you stand under the sun for a
while, you can feel the heat carried by sunlight. The sun shines and provides
warmth and heat to us. It is also an energy provider to form wind, to support
plant growth, to provide warm and hot temperatures …. etc. This light energy
from the sun is called “solar energy” as a general term.

Why solar energy is said to be environmentally friendly:
As a power source, sunlight does not create pollutants. Solar energy which
comes from the sun is an ever continuous power source. It will not exhaust and
is therefore a kind of “renewable” energy. In generating electricity, unlike a
traditional power plant, solar power is more environmentally friendly because
it will not produce pollution. To convert sunlight into electricity directly,
a solar panel is required:
Solar panel
A solar panel is a device which can convert sunlight into electricity.
The key components are layers of semi-conductors to form a solar cell. When
light falls on a specific arrangement of semi-conducting material, some
photons of sunlight will “kick” electrons to flow and form currents. Then
electricity is created. This way light energy is converted to electrical
energy. No pollutant is created in this process. As technology advances,
different combinations of semi-conducting materials are created, which have
different efficiency and costs. Therefore we can see more and more solar power
products in our daily appliances. Some examples are:
Have you ever wondered if solar power to generate electricity is that good, why is it not used everywhere?
The reason is that solar cells are costly compared to the electricity that they can produce. The cost-effectiveness issue is a major concern for many companies. Therefore people still stick to a traditional power plant. Maybe as technology advance, we will see lots more devices using solar energy!
