Orbi - The Saltwater Robot (Multi)

CIC

$2999

Build an elegant, modern (and adorable!) walking robot powered by salt water and magnesium - without batteries!

Discover how a metal-air electrochemical cell stores and discharges electrical energy using a simple saltwater solution. Explore the science of electricity, currents and electrical potential. An innovative pump mechanism provides a steady drip of salt water onto the magnesium plates, and the robot runs for up to an hour on a single drop of salt water! The "fuel" bottle is easy to clean, refill and reuse for hours of exploration.

A full-color manual includes step-by-step assembly instructions and explains how this green technology offers a truly safe, non-toxic, sustainable and renewable energy source.
