The solar cell must produce at least 1 volt and if possible waterproof (some models are covered with a thick varnish).

IWS solar AG, have a nice one, but it's quite expensive.

This engine with a sucker could be easily found in toy shops or supermarkets. Unfortunately, it seems that it out of fashion.
There is still a model by playmobile, but it's far more expensive.

Il est assez difficile de trouver le moteur. Parfois il est inclus dans un kit de bateau très bon marché.

Il existe chez PLAYMOBILE un moteur de même type mais plus cher.

Leider gibt es den ursprünglich verwendeten Motor nicht mehr, aber ein etwas teureres Ersatzmodel haben wir bei Playmobil gefunden.
