Lego Education 9688 Renewable Energy Add-On Set

Arrived son loves it

Firstly it's not a cheap unit. It should be noted that the instructions are very poor and strangely put together. as it's called "an add on" set you need to purchase a power function power unit to initially charge the power storage unit. There are clearer instructions online to explain the set up. (which I recommend) The instructions are strange in that one project is covered over not one but two manuals (new to me and it doesn't work) with a collection of lego you can build some nice pieces including a wind turbine, a water turbine and a solar panel. As with Lego I can see a great usage of this unit once you get round the technic hitches which shouldn't put you off

This Could have been so much more. The idea is a good one, but if you just buy the unit here, then there is no way to charge up the supplied battery, aside from using the solar panel provided, but i have yet to get mine even slightly charged despite having my solar panel in the sun directly for over 12 hours straight, This is very much a farce, with lego wanting you to purchase more of their equipment in order to get the best out of your kit

Perfecto
