Meet ORBI, the PRK GE-736 Salt Water Astronaut Kit - a lovable, wobbling robot powered entirely by saltwater energy! Designed to educate and entertain, this adorable DIY astronaut uses a gear mechanism and a redox chemical reaction to come to life batteries or electrical cords required.
Ideal for young scientists aged 8 and up, ORBI walks with a soothing wobble and delivers a hands-on introduction to clean energy, electrochemical reactions, and mechanical engineering. Just one drop of saltwater powers it for up to 30 minutes, and each saltwater mix can be used up to 14 times, making it both fun and economical.
The kit includes easy-to-follow illustrated instructions, helping children develop problem-solving, assembly, and scientific observation skills. Whether at home or in the classroom, this STEM-friendly activity promotes creativity, curiosity, and sustainable thinking.
