Description
Learn how to transmit power using cams and cranks and how they convert reciprocal motion into linear motion. These mechanisms are essential components of many machines, even though they are not classified as “Simple Machines.” This set allows you to build 8 working models, providing hands-on experience with cams and cranks. The included booklet and online resources offer easy-to-follow instructions, detailed explanations of scientific principles, and experimental activities to enhance learning. A quiz section is available to test your understanding.

Features

• Build 8 working models including a fishing crane, oil pump, moving figure, moving bridge, sewing machine, and flying eagle.

• Step-by-step building instructions provided in the booklet and online resources.

• Construct an oil pump to see how different simple machines work together with cams.

• Build a flying eagle model to observe how rotational motion is converted to linear flapping motion.

• Create a fishing crane to explore lifting capabilities using cranks.

• Build a moving figure to experiment with changing the direction of motion and assembling different types of cams.

• Hands-on experiments to understand motion conversion, linkages, and the properties of cams.

• Quiz section included to challenge newly acquired knowledge.
