Wind Powered Kids Toy – The Loopwing Toy Car

Today’s tiny tots will be tomorrow’s eco designers, politicians, and engineers — so we can’t think of a better way to inspire the next generation to think about renewable energy than by giving them smart toys which use clean power sources like wind and solar. Loopwing’s clever wind-powered toy car will engage any kid in hours of fun, while imparting important lessons about wind power and clean technology to your budding Buckminster Fuller.
The kit you get consists of, the toy, with a fan. When you plug-in the toy to a special region at the back of the fan and keep it in a windy area, it starts to get charged. When the fan rotates, it generates electricity and sends it to the battery. After charging  the toy it is now ready to be played.
.   This little DIY wind power generator set produced by Tamiya and Loopwing’s lets you create your very own clean energy at home for just under $30. It takes about a half hour to assemble the parts. It has two gears, a capacitor and the steering on the little car as well as the windmill charging station. Once assembled, you just have to stick the set outside your window and let it charge up. It’s also very small and portable enough that you could even go for a jog with it, expediting the charge process
