Product Description

With Engino' s mechanics: wheels, axles and inclined planes set and learn how wheels and axles use friction to move objects easily and how big tires compare to small tires. Find out how an inclined plane can be used for lifting heavy objects and how another form of inclined plane, the wedge, is used in every day applications. Build 14 working models such as a launching platform, a door with knob, a well, an airport staircase, an experimental ramp and a splitting wedge. You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklet included. The booklet provides detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. Features: a quiz section is also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! conduct thorough experiments and discover - how to gain mechanical advantage with large wheels - how the wheel and axle mechanism works as a lever - the relation between force and speed - the elements of an inclined plane and how these affect force and distance. - the Engino building system was invented by Costas Sisamos, a former teacher and engineer for the purpose of helping students build technological models creatively and easily to experiment and learn about science and technology in a way that includes all the benefits of play. Research grants from local and e.U. Sources helped transition the three year research project into an innovative product. Since then Engino has developed more snap-fit components such as gears, pulleys, motots, and solar panels. The major advantage of the Engino system is that it's design flexibility enables children to build simple or complex models quickly using a small number of components. Engino for ages 8 and up.

    Weird mix of sturdy and flimsy

    Weird mix of sturdy and flimsy
    I bought this kit last year for my son who loves building kits (K'nex, LEGO, Snap Circuits, etc.). It looked so cool, but we were not especially impressed. The machines built by this kit are surprisingly large, which was great. For the most part, the pieces were easy to snap together. My 9-year-old was easily able to follow the instructions and build independently. The structural pieces were nice and sturdy (similar to the pieces in the Thames & Kosmos Catapults & Crossbows in size and feel), but the bars doing the mechanical work were really flimsy. These are slender pieces of black plastic used to transfer force from the handle to the gears that move the machine. On the relatively compact lift design, getting this skinny piece of plastic into place and making it turn were tricky enough, but the helicopter relied on several of these twiggy pieces connected by sliding the end of each piece into a connector. You had to get them in about equally in order for them to be held securely; if you got one in too far, it was really hard to tug it back out again (even for me). These flimsy pieces were what connected the crank at the back of the helicopter with the gear that turned the main blade. It was hard to get them turning, and they twisted under the strain of connecting the handle and the gear. Because of the flimsy nature of the construction, the mechanisms on both machines didn't always work: the teeth would jam, and you'd be afraid of snapping the black bar if you exerted too much pressure trying to wiggle them free. I was hoping these would be a step up from K'nex educational kits; the educational materials were great, but the mechanics were disappointing enough that my son built only these two models and never wanted to touch the set again. (This from a kid who has built and re-built all of his other building kits sets was a pretty big disappointment.)
