Solar Motor & Gearbox Kit

Solar Motor & Gearbox Kit – Complete Educational Gear System for Solar Projects

The Solar Motor & Gearbox Kit provides everything needed to build a functional solar-powered gear assembly. With gearing options of 9:1 or 27:1, students can investigate torque, speed and mechanical advantage in a highly practical way.

The kit includes a solar motor, PVC gears, a 2mm shaft and durable housing, making it ideal for hands‑on STEM learning.

Key Features

• Two gearing ratios (9:1 or 27:1)
• Approx. 75 or 25 RPM at 0.5V
• Includes solar motor and complete gear system
• Durable PVC gears suitable for repeated use
• Compact housing (36 × 15mm without motor)

How It Can Be Used in Design & Technology Lessons

• Understanding gear ratios and mechanical systems
• Building solar-driven mechanisms
• Exploring torque vs. speed with real components
• Model vehicle or device construction
• Renewable energy demonstrations using solar power

Perfect for teaching mechanical engineering and sustainable design in an engaging way.
