Tamiya 76007 Solar Powered Dragonfly Model Kit  [76007]

Overview of Tamiya 76007 Solar Dragonfly

The Tamiya 76007 Solar Powered Dragonfly is a buildable model that demonstrates how solar input can be turned into motion. The combination of a Solar Motor 02 and a Solar Battery (0.5V/200mA) drives a cam and crank arrangement to flap the wings, and the adjustable solar panel helps users position the kit for optimal light capture.

Construction and Motion

Made from durable plastic components, the assembly is kept simple to let builders observe how cams and linkages produce movement. The visible mechanism offers a practical example of converting solar energy into mechanical action.

STEM Workshop Use

Well suited to classroom or hobbyist workshops, this kit introduces basic engineering principles and renewable energy topics in a hands-on way. It is accessible for younger builders and useful for older hobbyists wanting a compact mechanical project.
