The Solar Powered Perspex Desk Fan kit makes a fun and useful gadget for home or office use. Made with perspex this fan lets you use even a small amount of light from a desk lamp to turn the fan’s rotor blades.
Made by Solar Technology, this e-to-assemble, do-it-yourself gadget has a solar panel that fits on the back and can take advantage of any natural or artificial light source. With no on-off switch, this is a great way to teach kids – ages 6 and up – about how solar works, it helps keep you cool and it makes a cool gift too. £29.95
A solar powered desk kit is a great gift for any child interested in science and gadgets. A fun idea for the office, too. No need for batteries, or glue. All parts are made from laser cutters, and just fit together. Easy assembly, and a lot of fun!
