How does it work?

No batteries required, the suns light does all the work. When the grasshopper is in direct sunlight, the solar panel on its back converts the light energy into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy, in turn, powers the micro vibration motor causing this crazy critter to jump about. A strong artificial light source, like a spot light, can be used as an alternative to the sun. A unique, memorable way to learn about solar panels.
