Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles we use every day. They are an essential technology in our modern world. With this kit, you can conduct 25 experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion, and how an electric generator does just the opposite, converting motion into electricity. The electric motor is made of transparent plastic to show how the inside components work. Set up the motor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works. Then reconfigure the device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator. Experiment with magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fields relate to electric current. Build simple circuits consisting of the motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity. Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and back again. The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments with step-by-step instructions.

Although more than one hundred novels set in the Ozarks were
published before it, Thames Ross Williamson's 1933 novel The Woods
Colt was the first to achieve notable success both popularly and
critically. Written entirely in regional dialect, The Woods Colt is
the story of the violent and reckless Clint Morgan, whose attempts
to secure love and freedom force him down a path of
self-destruction. Simultaneously exploitative and romantic, The
Woods Colt carries us back to the heart of the Great Depression,
heyday of the hillbilly in pop culture, when the perceived
self-reliance and old-fashioned wisdom of rural people allowed
audiences to not only escape their current circumstances but also
imagine more hopeful ways of living. Williamson, a prolific author,
answered this interest with a fast-paced and action-driven novel
filled with folklore that had, ostensibly, been authenticated by
none other than renowned Ozarks expert Vance Randolph. The Woods
Colt, with its familiar sense of danger and adventure, continues to
offer insight and entertainment as it wrestles with timeless themes
of economic struggle, cultural conflict, and modernization. With an
introduction and explanatory notes from Phillip Douglas Howerton,
this new edition makes the seminal novel available once more to
scholars, regional enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a tale of
the Ozark hills.
