Mechanical Principle Toys
Prototypes/Showcase:
This set consists of 3 components, designed to make the STEM concepts Technology and Engineering practical and enjoyable.
Scissor Gripper:
This component illustrates the concept of fundamental linkages, while providing an enjoyable and functional experience.
Archimedes Trammel:
This device showcases the combination of two sliders, creating rotary motion. This provides a fascinating insight into geometry in a practical and engaging way.
Kaleidocycle:
This device is an actually very fun toy that showcases how linkages in can change shape in three dimensions. This introduces usually very complex folding mechanisms in a fun way.
I can imagine this set being used both at home and in education, since the mechanisms are not only fun to play with, but provide actual value with key concepts of technology and engineering.
