Boys' Quest and Fun For Kidz Parts

We, at Magicland Electronics, are committed on selling every electronic and electrical part used in Boys' Quest and Fun For Kidz magazines, that an average hardware store seldom carries. Scroll down below for our price list for parts used in Boys' Quest and Fun For Kidz magazines. If you don't see the parts in the list below that you are looking for, please email us and we may be able to help you.

Solderless Experimenter Breadboard Price: $8.99 (Note: this breadboard differs slightly in appearance from the Radio Shack Breadboard shown in the Workshop Columns. Because of this, diagrams will be included with every order showing exactly how to wire up the projects that make use of our Solderless Experimenter Breadboard.) This Breadboard can be used over and over for a multitude of projects. This is a bit like using LEGOs!

Cool Contraptions Parts

The author of Snowball launchers, Giant-Pumpkin Growers, and other COOL CONTRAPTIONS had to satisfy these main criteria for the projects before he added it to the book: The project had either had to be useful or fun to use, an educational aspect was important but not absolutely necessary, and the parts to make it had to be either scrap or inexpensive. While most parts for most projects are easy to find (many of them can be found around a typical home) there are some electronic related parts that may be relatively hard to find. This is especially true for the motors needed in Projects 19 and 20 and for, surprisingly, the magnet wire which is used in several projects. Because of this, Magicland Electronics is providing a source for the harder-to-find parts.

Tom Fox's book Snowball launchers,Giant-Pumpkin Growers, and other COOL CONTRAPTIONS (or simply, COOL CONTRAPTIONS) is a book, published in 2006 by Sterling Publishing, describing 20 projects that young people 8 to 80 can build. Visit my Cool Contraptions page for more info.

Infrared NPN Phototransistor Price: $0.79 Used in Project 15 and Project 20 - two are needed in Project 20.	Low-power Red LED Price: $0.49 This low-power LED is used in Project 15.
Solderless Experimenter Breadboard Price: $8.99 (Note: The Solderless Experimenter Breadboard differs slightly in appearance from the Radio Shack Breadboard shown in Snowball Launchers, Giant-Pumpkin Growers, and other COOL CONTRAPTIONS. Because of this, diagrams will be included with every order of this board showing exactly how to wire up the projects that make use of our Solderless Experimenter Breadboard.) Needed in Project 20, can be used over and over for many other projects, something like LEGOs.
DC Motor/High Torque Type Price: $5.99 Two are needed in Projects 19 and 20.	NPN Transistor/pn2222 Type Price: $0.49 Two are needed in Project 20.
NPN Power Transistor/3055t Type Price: $0.99 Two are needed in Project 20.	Heat Sink for Power Transistor/T-220 Type Price: $0.99 Two are needed in Project 20.
Slide Switch Price: $0.49 Used in Projects 19 and 20.	9 volt Battery Clip Price: $0.49 Used in Project 15.
