With the Power House kit you can build a model house
complete with solar panels, windmill,
greenhouse, and desalination system.  
You can build and operate an electric train, windmill,
solar cooker, solar hot water tank, hygrometer,
electric motor, power hoist, sail car, and more! 
Plant watercress, prepare sauerkraut,
and make chewing gum.  
Learn how plants convert sunlight into
energy for your body and your engines.
The thoughtfully designed series of experiments
was developed by physicist Uwe Wandrey. 
Professor Wandrey creatively integrates
physical science and technology
lessons with the adventure of building
 a home and living on a remote island. 
To survive, you must learn how to harness
the power of the sun and the wind
as well as tap the energy of other physical forces.
The storyline follows the experiments
in a stepwise fashion.
Easy-to-follow activities make it fun to
build models and use them for your experiments.
