⚙️ Unlock the power of motion and electricity—because understanding energy never looked this cool!
Thames & Kosmos Motors & Generators is an educational STEM kit designed to teach the principles of electric motors and generators through hands-on experiments. Featuring a transparent motor casing for clear observation, it allows users to convert electrical energy into motion and vice versa. The kit includes a comprehensive 60-page full-color manual with step-by-step instructions, enabling learners to explore magnetic fields, build circuits, and understand kinetic-to-electrical energy conversion. Ideal for curious minds aged 3 to 8 years, this USA-made set requires 2 AA batteries (not included) and offers a tangible introduction to fundamental physics concepts.

Cool stuff !!
Very good for my kids (14 years old girl and 9 years old boy) to have practical understanding of very basics of electrical engineering. I have helped them to assemble and able to show them what is gear ratio, what is commutator brush DC Motor and what is DC generator with the kit. Also a nice feature when you remove the red and blue magnets then neither the generator generates electricity nor the motor runs.The toy is not that you build generator or motor on your own hand. Rather it is assembled rotor with 3 commutators and two terminals which can be mounted with plastic gears and permanent magnets to act as BDC motor or generator. The assembly is very easy and it takes maximum 5 minutes for me and 10 minutes for my kids.
