The Loopwing mini wind turbine and electric car kit provides an inexpensive and sophisticated way to interest your child in not only environmentally sound power sources (bo-ring!) but also building stuff which goes really fast (hurrah!). The idea is that the turbine provides the power to charge the car's battery, and then the car gets up to 3.5 hours of activity before it runs out (reminding your child that power needs to be sustainable, which is a great lesson up until they learn how to steal batteries out of your mobile). At $30 this is apt to pop up in many offices as a way to kill Friday. Totally brill. [Camille]
