Super Capacitor Science Kit (FCJJ-35)

Description

The Super Capacitor Science Kit introduces students to the extraordinary storage and power potential of the super capacitor. Create energy from the hand crank and monitor energy storage with a charge level indicator. Then demonstrate the energy density and power of the capacitor by running a small fan module. With super capacitors an integral part of the automotive revolution currently changing the way we think about transport, this is the ideal kit to explore the principles of high density energy storage.

• Features hand crank, super capacitor, charge level indicator and load
• Super capacitor can be charged by hand crank, then used to power load
• Level indicator shows charge level of the super capacitor
• Comes with CD, experiments and curriculum
