Nothing could move easily until the Wheel was invented! Wheel and axles are one of the Simple Machines used to reduce friction and move objects. Both types of wheels and axles are presented in this package.
The ENGINO SYSTEM can be used to create either a wheel fixed on a rotating axle or a wheel rotating freely in a fixed axle, and is ideal for building effortlessly some very impressive models. Learn how turning wheels can help move around corners, how big wheels compare to small wheels, and how an Inclined Plane can be used to lift heavy objects more easily. Even the Wedge simple machine is introduced in this box! Models such as a tractor, a motorcycle, a door, a splitting wedge, a car with steering wheels, a car lift and much more may be created. Detailed instructions for 13 models are included in the tough carton package, specially designed for easier storage and handling.
