CES 2009: Enviromentally Unfriendly Renewable Energy Science Kits

I was one of those children that loved to make things and better still destroy things, so the new science kit Horizon showed off at CES 2009 is a dream come true.
The full sized version with all the bits is a little pricey at $199 but sounds immense fun: "With this kit, an entire miniature renewable energy system can be constructed on a lab-scale." - With this I would feel like a mad scientist; the power of nature at my fingertips. But you don’t have to go all out and buy everything; there are a variety of smaller kits which enable your kids (or you) to explorer the world of green energy.



Horizon says the Renewable Energy Science Kits helps you “visualize the workings of clean energy principles from start to finish”, but strangely enough like most kits of this kind it is not actually made from any eco-friendly materials. In fact there is very little to show that Horizon has anything other than money in mind when they created these science kits.
Although the kits are not eco-friendly the principle is good, they promote the ideas in a fun and visual way so it’s a thumbs up for Horizon’s Renewable Energy Science Kits.
