MECHANICS: Cams & Cranks

MECHANICS: Cams & Cranks explores how cams and cranks are used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, creating complex movements in machines. Learn how these mechanical systems are applied in engines, tools, and other devices to control motion in a controlled and efficient manner. Build working models like a cam engine, a crank-powered pump, and a mechanical arm that demonstrates the principles of cams and cranks. You can find easy-to-follow building instructions either online or in the included booklet. The booklet provides detailed explanations of the scientific principles behind cams and cranks, along with innovative hands-on activities to enhance your understanding. A quiz section is also available to test your newly acquired knowledge!
