Cybug Solarfrly
For those looking for a present or a fun toy to teach kids about solar power you might want to consider the JCM Cybug Solarfly 2.
Powered by the sun’s rays or a battery. When in battery mode, pointing a flashlight at it turns the Solarfly into a jittery frantic light seeker.
The Solar Fly 2 is educational on several levels. It is a “low maintenance pet,”and a lesson in robotics. Of course, it can also teach kids the benefits of renewable energy power sources. According to one website:
Although primarily fueled by the sun, the Solar Fly 2 can also draw power with its long vertical antennae when it comes into contact with “feeding stations” that can be built from the included instructions.
The Cybug Solarfly is available at Amazon.com and retails at the price of about $50.
