ROW! Let’s turn back time
when the Vikings used to cross the Atlantic or to sail east. The hard
rowing crew used the rolling method to maneuver their large, silent, swift
ships through rivers and into the open waters of the Black Sea. The
evolution of the 21st Century version of OWI’s Valiant
Viking Ship is similar in nature but uses alternative energy
principle, solar, to power its way through water. The sweat drenched Vikings
would have welcomed and appreciated the new and improved method of
propulsion.
It would appear the Valiant Viking Ship is “smiling” as the
sun shines providing its rhythmic splashing, as the oars penetrate the
water’s edge to create movement. You can almost hear the cheers of the
Vikings as they standby and watch the alternative energy principle
demonstrate its marvel. Upon completion of its journey, one can moor the
ship on its docking station (included). No batteries required and 33 plastic
parts to assemble. It’s most advantageous because: it’s very inexpensive for
individuals or groups; clear easy to follow instructions; motivates students
to learn about solar energy; a great self-contained take-home project for
boys or girls clubs; challenges young people to be technically precise with
miniature parts; teaches students to follow precise visual diagrams; have
hours of fun experimenting with solar energy.
