Toys and Games Reviews of Girder and Panel Hydrodynamic Deluxe Set
Customer Review: We've had it for 6 months, still going strong
Summary: 5 Stars
My 10 year old son recieved this deluxe kit at the beginning of the summer. He loves to build-legos, knex, marble run etc. He spent hours and hours for weeks playing with this kit. We put it on a short patio table in the bath tub in the spare bathroom. It stayed in there all summer with very little mess. At first adding food coloring was fun, but it got messy so I put a stop to it. He still played with it anyways, rebuilding and watching the water flow.
Yes, some of the tanks are hard to put together at first. After a month, it all wears in and it is easier to change the tank designs without parental help. One hint about putting the brand new, tight fitting tanks together is to attach the flatter pieces first, save the pointy ends for last. I had good luck using shag rug on the floor to support the pieces when I applied lots of pressure. I think we ran one piece under hot water to expand it and then tried to snap them together.
At the end of the summer we put it away, and a few weeks later he dragged it out again for another two week run. A great toy that stores easily when not in use. (Just make sure that everything is dry before you lock it air tight in the storage container.) This deluxe set is better than the picture that Amazon shows. "Google" it to see the difference between the deluxe and the standard model. Amazon has a great price on it too. I wish they made more toys like this. I would buy them.
Description of Girder and Panel Hydrodynamic Deluxe Set
Looking for a science project that allows your child to be creative, build, and learn some science as well? The Girder and Panel 300 Piece Hydrodynamic Deluxe Set will not leave you disappointed. Add water and your imagination for hours of creative fun and science exploration. Children will engineer structures, learn how a siphon works, and discover basic principles of fluid dynamics. They can use their imagination to build scale models of ice cream factories, oil refineries, water treatment plants, distillation plants, and other industrial structures. Kids enjoy testing their ability to balance the water flow through the tanks by opening and closing valves. This set comes with a large tray and footing in which you build the structure. The tray measures approximately 10 inches by 16 inches by 3 inches deep. The tray and the footing are both white. The footing has a grid of 12 holes for columns (4 x 3 configuration). Build the structure using the footing in the tray for the base, 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! When you take the set down, all the parts pack into the tray, the plastic lid snaps on and it can be safely stored away for future use. This Deluxe Set includes: electric pump (12V AC), siphon tank, large square tank, small and large round and cone bottom tanks, float valve, tilt scale, ball float meter, water wheel, assorted valves, pipe holders, pipe. 1/87 scale of a real manufacturing plant (HO scale). Includes full-color instruction book. Recommended for ages 10 years and older. Made in USA with some parts made in China.Building Sets Toys
