Concept playground developed by Hyundai Engineering & Construction seeks to teach playing children about clean energy. Called "The Natural Energy Park," it contains several different examples of clean energy.
-An adjustable solar panel can be moved, via levels, to collect more light and in spin an optical illusion disk faster or slower.
-In the highest point of the playground is a secret lab, where a wheel can be spun to generate electricity that lights up a "Benjamin Franklin kite" just outside.
-Pedal a cycle and light up some signs. And also a pedal power radio.
-A seesaw turns a waterwheel.
-A pinhole camera displays a focusable image of what is on the other side.
-And two way "videophone" periscope lets kids see and talk to each other using a tube and mirrors.
-A magnetically levitating airplane can change via a lever.
All in the act of playing, they get lessons in technology and clean energy. This park won the design team the "Red Dot Design Award" in the green category. Never too early to make a good impression.
