In 1969, Remco branched out after years of making motorized toys like the Lost In Space Robot and Rudy The Robot and came out with some pretty groovy junior science kits under the trademark REMCRAFT : Creative Materials for Young People.
You could build your own Jet Power Turbine, a balloon-powered Jet-Mobile or a Rocket Engine with its own launch tower!
They made a Mechanical Physics Kit (which I'll post shortly) and possibly others, too!
Very cool makes me think of the jet propulsion laboratory
Today kids would ask you is there an app for it on my iPhone
Oh WOW would I have wanted either/any of these kits you've just shown when I was a kid...maybe a wise decision on Mom's (?) part that I never did find one under the x-mas tree because, after all, it might have ultimately resulted in stains/burns on the ceiling, dents in the walls, or whatever other not quite so good things I would have naturally wanted to find out how to do with 'em...a great 'learning experience' (for again whatever potentially accidental reasons) to me it coulda been, at least, but I wholly understand all that... now I'm (theoretically) a "big boy" that can play with weird crap in my own house or environs, without making a huge mess than anybody but myself is responsible to clean up afterward ;;; :-) :-) :-)

Thanks for the comments, Vynil and AnythingObscure!
How many of these kits would it have taken for all of us kids to have sooner or later destroyed the world, AnythingObscure?
Well, at least we would have destroyed the house!
Okay, at the very least, my room would have been a crater.
