Motors & Generators
5 Great reasons to buy from us:
This kit appeals to lots of children as it is both enjoyable and active, creating noise, light and motion. Includes a hand-operated generator and an electric motor. This kit also has a fabulous 48 page colour booklet.
Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles we use every day. They are an essential technology in our modern world. With this kit, you can conduct 25 experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion, and how an electric generator does just the opposite, converting motion into electricity.
The electric motor is made of transparent plastic to show how the inside components work. Set up the motor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works. Then reconfigure the device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator.
Experiment with magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fields relate to electric current. Build simple circuits consisting of the motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity. Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and back again.
The full-colour, 48-page manual guides your experiments with step-by-step instructions.

United KingdomDisappointed
I sent off a complaint to you and have heard nothing! I think your bright minds are not so bright!!!
United KingdomReally engaging toy
We found thus product had many more elements than I expected. Our seven year old granddaughter loves many of the experiments. We anticipated that we would be through it and discarded within a day but instead we have separated it into several sections and she still has much to do and looks for it every time she visits us.
United KingdomThames and Kosmos Motors and Generators
Clarke Tribbe is our very much loved Grandson living in the UK, under lockdown. This was a Christmas present for him, he is 7 and very scientific minded! All good with delivery etc. We like Brightminds website, have visited and purchased before, would recommend!
United KingdomBrilliant gift
Worried that the age 8 would have been too challenging for a 5 year old but as he is fascinated with anything motorised he was straight in it, a big hit, thank you
Best Christmas present
My 4 year old son loved it he is very much into circuit breakers he also had the amazing clock which waslso loved
