About this item
- Renewable Energy Add-On Set 9688
- The Renewable Energy Add-On Set is designed as an addition to the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Set, the core set in our Machines & Mechanisms range. When the Renewable Energy Add-On Set is combined with the customized activity pack, students will explore renewable energy sources; investigate energy supply, transfer, accumulation, conversion, and consumption; and use measurements and data analysis to describe and explain outcomes through hands-on activities and exciting, real-life models. Extend the use of the Add-On Set by combining it with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education range. Students will experiment using energy from their own bodies and the three main energy sources – solar, wind, and water – to generate, store, and use power. When connected to the NXT Brick, the unique elements of the Renewable Energy Add-On Set (solar panel, generator, and LEGO Energy Meter) work as sensors. Renewable Energy Add-On Set 9688 Choose your platform/edition, then jump in—story, missions, and extras depend on the version. Rated 4.0 out of 5.

This is an Add on set for the Lego Education Simple And Motorized Mechanisms Base Set 9685
The Lego Education Renewable Energy Add on set is designed to work with the Lego Education Simple And Motorized Mechanisms Base Set 9685. This is an educational student kit that works with a Lego 4th to 6th grade engineering curriculm that have a student workbook and teacher's guide that is sold separately. The solar panel is amorphous and sensitive / works with UV lights. UV filtered light or non UV light won't generate much of a current on solar panel ... This Lego solar panel works best with outside sun light. Rechargeable NiMH battery won't hold much of a charge. Kit contains most energy efficient motor LEGO has ever made. This set is one of the few ways to get the Power Function oriented Solar Panel. Windmill blades can double as efficient water wheel blades too. Set has been discontinued so finding a NIB version now is very rare Read more

Do not buy this unless you want to hack it.
This kit has the appearance of being useful and interesting, but is quite disappointing in practice. The battery kits do not hold a charge, nor do the builds provide enough power to charge them. With some warranty-voiding modifications, I am sure this could become a viable kit for education, but as-is, do not buy it. Especially for the list price of $999 (what even?). Read more
