Description
Fundamentals of Engineering and Construction: The ideal technology construction set for all future mechanical engineers. The areas of dynamics, statics, gears, structure, and bracing are all addressed as students learn by building models that illustrate the principles behind these concepts. This set will help students to answer questions such as:
- How does a gear box work?
- What is a planetary gear?
- How is the movement of a windshield wiper produced?
- How do you design a stable bridge?
- ...and much more.
Requires 9V battery (not included).
