Studio : Ggeology Science Kits Publisher : Ggeology Science Kits Binding : Toy Product Description "Mom! Dad! How does a car work?" "Well, er... There are lots of gears, and... Well..." No matter how much you know about how cars work, it's a difficult task sharing that knowledge with your child. With the Discovery Car, seeing is understanding! Three large see-through pieces fit together with the wheels and the chassis to create a vehicle for viewing all the major mechanical movements that make a car work. Just the push it along and see it come to life! Watch the front fan twirl with the crank shaft causing the pistons to move up and down in succession. Check out how the gears in the middle are able to transfer the power from the engine to the rear wheels. Twist the switch in the middle and kids will quickly understand how different gears can change how much power is transferred. "Look! With the bigger gears, the fan spins slower, but with the smaller gears, it spins faster!" Finally, kids get to see for themselves exactly how a differential gear system works. The large, outer gear spins the whole axle while the inner gears allow the wheels to spin independently! Big, bulky, colorful, and even featuring a functional steering wheel, the Quercetti Isotta Discovery Car is an amazingly simple and exciting way to introduce children to the wonders of mechanical engineering.
