(PLEASE NOTE: This game is in English and may not contain a translation into your language.) It has been used for hundreds of years in hydraulic generated water cars and is commonly used to generate electricity in applications such as hydro dams and tide power stations. Explore the power of water by building models and doing experiments using them. From a small stream to a massive turbine at a tide-powered station - use to extract useful energy from water transfer or for different devices here! Build a hammer mill to utilize the energy of transferring water to perform various types of physical work. Examine interesting properties of water by conducting experiments including surface tension, adhesion, and aggeality. See here for water pressure, water fountain by building a watercraft communication, water towers. Build a hydraulic power station to generate electricity and turn on the LED. Learn about where the ocean waves, tide and river energy come from, and we discover how they generate electricity from them. Full color, 32-page experiment manual provides instructional instructions and scientific information. 8 years up Review: We did these model experiments with our kids as we're building a full size version at our home this spring - the model even gave us some great ideas for our version! Review: This kit is wonderful! I have purchased a couple of hydropower science kits, and this one is my favourite. Pieces are sturdy, and the manual is easy to follow. My Grade 2 daughter loved putting this kit together for a Water Fair at her school here on Salt Spring Island. I especially like that the larger water wheel example teaches gear ratio principles. ## Features - This kit allows you to assemble water and experiment with hydropower generation - Includes 48 page manual (English only) - This kit contains 12 experiments - Ages 8 and up ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001TGAYU0 | | Amazon Bestseller | #362,180 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #542 in Chemistry Science Kits | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (175) | | Date First Available | February 24, 2012 | | Item model number | 624811 | | Model Number | 624811 | | Number of Pieces | 105 | | Product Dimensions | 37.08 x 5.84 x 29.21 cm; 0.28 g | | Target Gender | Male | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Brand:** Thames & Kosmos - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 37.1 x 5.8 x 29.2 cm - **Size:** 37.08 x 29.21 x 7.87 cm ## Images ![Science Toy Chemistry Science Toy Hydropower Science Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Pr5E6-i0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it for outdoors** A: We put it in a tote inside at the science fair. Not sure how long it would hold up outside. **Q: How long does it take to build?** A: Thank you for your question. It depends on the model and the building speed of the user. There are 6 different models that you can build with varying levels of difficulty. You can learn more here: http://www.thamesandkosmos.com/products/manuals/624811_hydropower_manual.pdf **Q: Will a 6 yr old be able to use this?** A: With some oversight, yes. It is an assembly where there are instructions that need to be followed, with some explanations and other tips in written form, so it is helpful if the assembler can read, understand, and fully comprehend. Once assembled, there are gearing changes and other adaptations that can be done by a 6-year old after he/she has a basic understanding of the actual workings of the generator assembly. We used this set for a 7th grade science fair experiment, so the assembly was 100% done by my then 13-year old son. But I followed along out of curiosity and I think it could be assembled by a younger set of hands with adult supervision. **Q: The led broke on this contraption, and attaching a new led doesn't seem to work. i tried a 3ohm bulb with no success. suggestions?** A: When mine broke, I thought it was the LED bulb, but it was actually the motor. It is possible that is what is wrong with yours. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***N on January 11, 2026* We did these model experiments with our kids as we're building a full size version at our home this spring - the model even gave us some great ideas for our version! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***T on May 29, 2015* This kit is wonderful! I have purchased a couple of hydropower science kits, and this one is my favourite. Pieces are sturdy, and the manual is easy to follow. My Grade 2 daughter loved putting this kit together for a Water Fair at her school here on Salt Spring Island.

The children are 6 and 7 so needed adult support to use it but end product was good. Led was broken before it got used which was annoying and the instruction booklet was deadly when it came to papercuts but apart from that it was a good purchase for the kids ## Frequently Bought Together - Thames & Kosmos Hydropower Science Kit | 12 Stem Experiments | Learn About Alternative & Renewable Energy, Environmental Science | Parents' Choice Recommended Award Winner - Thames & Kosmos Wind Power V4.0 STEM Experiment Kit | Build a 3ft Wind Turbine to Generate Electricity | Learn About Renewable Energy & Power a Small Model Car | Weatherproof for Outdoor Use - 4M Wind Turbine Science Kit, Green Science Small --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/742861828-science-toy-chemistry-science-toy-hydropower-science-kit](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/742861828-science-toy-chemistry-science-toy-hydropower-science-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
