Build six amazing wind-powered bots without using any batteries or electricity. The magic lies in the world's oldest power source: wind! A full-color manual will lead you through assembling six different models one by one using over 130 pieces. You can build a big-wheel tricycle, a quadruped, a soaring machine, a drilling monster, a walking robot, and even a wind-powered yacht. The kit also comes with parts to build a hand-powered wind generator to make all the models move. As you build and experiment, you'll learn about how gears transfer power and torque, and also explore wind as a power-generating technology from the past to the future. Assembly is easy and snap-together, no glue needed. You'll get step-by-step, illustrated instructions. This 6-in-1 engineering kit allows you to build six wind-powered models and a handheld wind generator. Just start cranking the generator and watch the models come to life! It's suitable for ages 8 and up. There are 6 experiments in total, with 133 pieces in the kit. The manual has 52 pages. The product dimensions are 7.3 x 11 x 3.9 inches and it weighs 0.9 lbs. The manual dimensions are 5.5 x 8.25 inches.
Using this kit is a breeze! First, grab the full - color manual. It will guide you step - by - step to assemble each of the six wind - powered models one at a time. The pieces snap together easily, so you don't need any glue. Once you've built a model, use the hand - powered wind generator. Just start cranking it, and your model will start moving. While building, pay attention to how the gears work together to transfer power. This is a great chance to learn about wind power and gear ratios. When not in use, store the pieces in a dry place to avoid any damage. If a piece breaks, you can check if it can be fixed. If not, contact the manufacturer for a replacement. Remember, this kit is for ages 8 and up, so make sure younger users are supervised during assembly and use.
