Fischertechnik Solar Kit

Fischertechnik Solar Kit

Shine a light into the exciting world of renewable energy with the Fischertechnik Solar Kit! This hands-on set will introduce your child to solar power while he plays. At the heart of this kit is the solar rotor—a clever combination of solar panels and a motor—that harnesses the power of sunlight to spin a propeller. This solar rotor works with both sunlight and halogen light for year-round exploration.

Your child will build three unique solar-powered models: a helicopter, an airboat (nonbuoyant), and a fan. Then, he can watch as the sun powers movement in every model. The Fischertechnik Solar Kit includes the elusive Fischertechnik man, who adds extra fun to the solar adventures!

Fuel your child's curiosity and let him explore the possibilities of solar energy with the innovative and educational Fischertechnik Solar Kit!

About Fischertechnik

For years Fischertechnik manufactured world-renowned components intended for engineering companies who built prototypes of factory installations. 

Those tabletop factory replicas realistically and cost-effectively allowed the engineers to plan, program, develop, and test industrial controls and debug their designs. They even train personnel who would operate the new equipment with these models. Because such tasks demanded precision, the Fischertechnik parts were fabricated with quality and realism. 

One Christmas (in 1964), Fischertechnik pulled together an assortment of its components and presented child-friendly modeling kits to engineers and industrial clients. The gifts were so popular that in 1965, Fischertechnik introduced its first building set in Germany.

Over the years, institutions that promote pre-engineering courses for middle and high-school students have used Fischertechnik components in 1,300 schools across the states. Equally valuable in a homeschool curriculum, Fischertechnik allows children to learn technology using the most realistic parts currently available. 

Highly regarded by engineers, the ready-to-assemble, compact training models mimic real-life applications and are suitable for education, training, and industry. Engineered to scientific precision and manufactured using high-strength nylon, plastic, and steel, the unique design of these components results in the most durable and reliable connections.

The versatile Fischertechnik basic building block is the basis for all Fischertechnik construction sets. This block's channel-and-groove design allows your engineer to add parts and build on all six sides. 

All Fischertechnik construction kits are compatible. Comprehensive, easy-to-understand assembly instructions are included in every construction set.
