The Technical bit:-
The Crazy Cricket uses a photovoltaic solar cell to generate electricity
from sunshine. This electricity drives a miniature motor that causes
the Cricket to vibrate and 'dance' in the sun.
The solar cell used in the Crazy Cricket is a small version of the solar
panels used on space satellites and space stations. Big arrays of
solar panels are also used on earth to generate electricity to power
homes, businesses and factories. Photovoltaic (PV) solar power is a
form of renewable energy.
