The future of toys has arrived. Knight Invader III is a super race car that includes mini-construction projects, teaches the basic principles of electricity, gear mechanisms, and demonstrates two different modes of propulsion. This sleek super racer has it all and a little bit more.

KNIGHT INVADER III can propel itself off the starting line and challenges any contender to try to stay up when it is set into direct motor drive.
When on a mission, KNIGHT INVADER III can secretly change its transportation mode to solar power (sold separately). Plus, for the educationally minded guardians, this fire plug kit
includes mini construction projects that teach the basic principles of electricity including experiments involving series and parallel circuits and solar energy (sold separately).

Another brilliant idea Dr. OWIKIT, is the inclusion of a bulb and switch that allows our friends to investigate simple experiments in conductivity. No tools required for assembly.

Dr. Toy, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., author, consultant and expert on child development and children's products says, "PHENOMENAL! - Amphibious Solar Vehicle is the toy for the new millennium...Land, Water, Solar Power, WOW! This is the way future technology is taking us."

The special air-blowing compartment allows the styrofoam ball (included) to magically float into the air while the car is running. No tools are required for this easy to assemble and disassemble magical beastly beauty. If that’s not enough, some of its transparent parts allow you to view and study the inner mechanics of the product.
Discovery and cranial developmental products has enabled OWI to be a premier science kit provider. The kit engages learning about electricity, circuits, air power, solar power (optional), friction, motion, simple machines, and physics. Now, that’s our commitment to learning! Our philosophy is, “building future minds…creating future leaders”.
Very easy to assemble, this OWIKIT “JR Science Series” robot is ideal for robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, and classroom activities.

608 Solar Battery
The Solar Battery is comprised of a number of photo voltaic cells. Each cell is made from a slab of semiconductor crystal. When light shines on the cell voltage is produced that can create an electrical current in a circuit. The greater the light intensity on the solar battery the greater is the current it can produce. Solar Battery is compatible with 6567 and 6577 kits and many other solar experiments.Intended for use to familiarize students and/or hobbyists with functional solar cell principles, and practical applications of solar cells. Mounting bracket not included. Safe, simple-to-use encapsulated mini-panel. Sturdy panel will endure handling without the breakage and cell damage traditionally associated with solar cells. Create various experiments by exposing and positioning the panel to the energy source. This powerful solar battery features 3 cells in a sleek, low-profile protective housing with mounting holes. Positive and negative terminals are indicated to take the guesswork out of installation. Lead wires are included.

Walking King Crab
Methodically, eight legs work in harmony to create a ballet style “tippy-toe” movement. Similar to its cousin from Alaska, the sun’s rays will make it scurry along to safe passage. If you were thinking about dipping its legs in melted butter and garlic, you’d be disappointed with a mouth full of high density plastic. Walking King Crab is the next logical kit if you have already assembled the Super Solar Racing Car (OWI-MSK671) or the Frightened Grasshopper (OWI-MSK670). It is powered by a mini solar cell (included) and demonstrates alternative energy principles. No batteries required and less than thirty-five parts to assemble.

Eyes jiggle, legs wiggle, and antennas sway to-and-fro is the combo tango-jitterbug-frightened-grasshopper dance. It is unmistakably an attention-grabber. Pint-sized and power to pack a punch, this enticingly amusing solar bug will surely capture your heart. Turn on its power switch (the sun) and you will smile like there is no tomorrow. This frolicking fancy is easy to assemble and demonstrates an alternative energy principle. No batteries and tools required and less than ten parts to snap together.

Super Solar Racing Car
ZOOOOOOMM! Super Solar Racing Car has surprising speed. In fact, you might catch yourself saying, “Woo Wee that little sucker must be super charged with one of those fancy high performance engines.” If you did, in fact, think such a thought, you are partly correct. One source of such power is derived from the sun’s powerful rays of light. Thank goodness you can control this speedster from any dangerous mishaps by shielding its power source and immediately depressing its brakes to stop. Super Solar Racing Car is easy to assemble and demonstrates alternative energy principles. No batteries and tools required and less than a dozen parts to assemble..

Almost comical, this little green amphibian friend leaps with a joyful sense of freedom. Using its hind legs and rubber feet, Happy Hopping Frog jiggles its eyes as a dog would wag its tail acknowledging its love and appreciation to its owner. The tailless, leaping mini solar kit is activated by the power of the sun’s rays; no batteries required. Happy Hopping Frog is the next logical kit if you have already assembled the Super Solar Racing Car (OWI-MSK671) or the Frightened Grasshopper (OWI-MSK670).

Dangerous? You’ve got to be kidding me? An inch worm?... Attacking Inch worm has orange spiky limbs to ward off any predator who seeks to challenge it as a delectable delight. Its initial defensive mechanism may fool intruders for a moment, but still requires a way to heed out of harm’s way. The sun’s rays power this mini solar kit to slither along to safety. The mechanical movements simulate the movements of its soft-bodied derivative. Because its home is above ground, Attacking Inch Worm has a hard plastic body to protect itself. This slender creeping animal is the next logical kit if you have already assembled the Super Solar Racing Car (OWI-MSK671) or the Frightened Grasshopper (OWI-MSK670).

ROW! Let’s turn back time when the Vikings used to cross the Atlantic or to sail east. The hard rowing crew used the rolling method to maneuver their large, silent, swift ships through rivers and into the open waters of the Black Sea. The evolution of the 21st Century version of OWI’s Valiant Viking Ship is similar in nature but uses alternative energy principle, solar, to power its way through water. The sweat drenched Vikings would have welcomed and appreciated the new and improved method of propulsion.

It would appear the Valiant Viking Ship is “smiling” as the sun shines providing its rhythmic splashing, as the oars penetrate the water’s edge to create movement. You can almost hear the cheers of the Vikings as they standby and watch the alternative energy principle demonstrate its marvel. Upon completion of its journey, one can moor the ship on its docking station (included). No batteries required and 33 plastic parts to assemble. It’s most advantageous because: it’s very inexpensive for individuals or groups; clear easy to follow instructions; motivates students to learn about solar energy; a great self-contained take-home project for boys or girls clubs; challenges young people to be technically precise with miniature parts; teaches students to follow precise visual diagrams; have hours of fun experimenting with solar energy.
