Tamiya 76001 STEM Solar Car Model Kit  [76001]

Explore Solar Power with the 76001 Model

The Tamiya 76001 Solar Car Assembly Kit introduces builders to solar energy conversion and drivetrain basics through practical assembly and field tests. The kit emphasises learning by doing, ideal for model clubs and education projects.

Gearing Choices and Solar Capture

Experiment with three gear ratios to see how they affect acceleration and running under different light levels: 1.7:1, 2.2:1 and 3.4:1. The ball-mounted solar panel allows quick changes to the incident angle for hands-on comparison of direct and diffuse lighting.

Designed for Experimentation

Record performance across various setups to grasp the link between power input, gear selection and vehicle response. The kit supports iterative testing and simple modifications for deeper study.
