Description

Hydropower has been used for hundreds of years in watermills and is now commonly used to generate electricity in applications such as hydroelectric dams and tidal power plants. Explore the power of water by building models and conducting experiments with them. Learn about how different devices are used to extract useful energy from moving water — from a waterwheel in a small stream to a giant turbine in a tidal power station.

Build a waterwheel, a sawmill, and a hammer mill to harness the energy of moving water to do different types of physical work. Investigate the intriguing properties of water by performing experiments involving surface tension, adhesion, and cohesion. Learn about water pressure by building a water tower, communicating vessels, and a water fountain.

Construct a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity and light an LED. Learn about where the energy in ocean waves, tides, and rivers comes from, and discover how we can generate electricity from them. The full-color, 32-page experiment manual offers illustrated instructions and scientific information.

Returns: 365 Days, or 20 on TCG

Bought a game and never got around to playing it? Return it, free up the shelf, and put the money toward something you will actually play.

365 days on everything except trading card games. The clock starts the day your order arrives. The item needs to come back unopened and in its original packaging, and you will need your receipt or order confirmation. Email us at Info@OakenVault.com to start a return and we will send you a return label. The cost of that label comes off your refund.

Trading card games get 20 days. Sealed card products are traded as much as they are played, and a year-long return right would let someone buy sealed, wait out the market, and send back whatever failed to hold its value. Twenty days is plenty if you change your mind, and too short to flip risk free. TCG items must come back unopened too. An opened booster has no resale value, so there is nothing for us to refund.

Buying a gift? The recipient has months to exchange or return it, so you can buy early without guessing.
