MECHANICS: Gears & Worm Drives

MECHANICS: Gears & Worm Drives teaches how gears and worm drives are used to transfer motion and force between machine components. Discover how gears change the direction of movement and how worm drives are perfect for providing high torque in compact spaces. Learn about gear ratios and how they affect speed and force in machines. Build working models like a gear transmission system, a worm drive winch, and other gear-based mechanisms. Easy-to-follow building instructions are available online or in the included booklet. The booklet explains the scientific principles behind gears and worm drives, offering hands-on experimental activities for practical learning. A quiz section challenges your new understanding of mechanical systems!
