Product Spotlight: Girder And Panel Hydrodynamic Deluxe Kit

hydrodynamic-deluxe-building-set.gifWinner of a Parents’ Choice Award, Dr. Toy’s Product of Excellence Award and an iParenting Media Best Product.”

Build a model of a manufacturing plant with working tanks, pipes, valves and pump with this unique 300 piece construction set. Construct a model of an ice cream factory, a water treatment plant, a distillation plant, and many other industrial structures. Discover how a siphon works, balance the flow through the plant by adjusting the valves, and learn the basic principles of fluid dynamics. Build the structure, place the submersible pump in the tray, add water until you completely cover the inlet on the pump, and then enjoy reconfiguring the pipes, opening and closing valves and watching the action!

This is a remake of the old Kenner set with the same name. I remember getting this kit for Christmas when I was a kid. Kenner had the pump built into the base and it used 2 D batteries. I remember building the different arrangements, then using the colored dye tablets that came with the unit and watched the pump push the colored water around. I was especially engrossed with the tilt valve and the float valve. I also liked the little shut off valves and the spray heads. This is a neat kit and may be why I chose a career as a Chemical Engineer. Get one for inquisitive minds! Or get one for the big kid in your life! - Customer Review
