Astonishingly realistic, the Locomotive’s internal gears, pistons and wheels are as close to the real thing as possible. It looks and functions in a way almost identical to that of a steam train. Once completed, it stands out as a truly original piece of mechanics that clearly requires diligent assembly work (although it’s not our simplest model, it’s not beyond the capabilities of a beginner). Capable of running a distance of up to 5 meters, the model’s massive gearwheel array is propelled forward by the enormous 12 band rubber-band engine. The speed at which your Locomotive travels depends on how much you wind it’s engine up. The engine is clearly visible inside the model, so you can see how steam would enter an actual Locomotive’s steam chamber. The little doors and roof hatch let you peer inside the Locomotive’s cabin, which is complete with an instrument panel and retractable ladder beneath the main door. As all other UGEARS models, the Locomotive comes with a detailed, step-by-step full-colour instruction manual. All of the Locomotive’s finer details are already pre-cut in plywood boards, and can be easily snapped or snipped out. This complex yet beautiful mechanism, made entirely of plywood, is a very impressive piece of hobbyist work that’s a marvel to look at and a great conversation starter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-assembled, no glue needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel size (Locomotive): 12*3.9*4.9 in   (31*10*12 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel size (Tender):  6.3*3.5*4.5 in (16*9*11 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage size: 14.6*6.7*1.5 in (37*17*4 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts count: 480\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UGears Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":15971643228262,"sku":"UGS70012","price":97.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2779\/3574\/products\/ugears-australia-construction-puzzles-ugears-locomotive-tender-5069601636454.jpg?v=1632682993"},{"product_id":"ugears-mechanical-flower","title":"Ugears - Mechanical Flower","description":"\u003cp\u003eMechanical Flower-etui is a tempting gift idea for your beloved one.

The Aero Clock is an ingenious puzzle and DIY clock mechanism, unlike any other clock.

Raise the bag on its pulleys to wind the clock. As the weight slowly descends, it rotates a drive gear, which then rotates an escape wheel through a reducer. The clock features an adjustable weighted pendulum which interacts with the escape wheel through the steady tick-tock of the anchor mechanism. You can adjust the clock's ticking action to the second, by sliding the pendulum's top and bottom weights. The reducer also transmits rotation to an hour disc and a minute disc. One of the interesting features of our Aero Clock is that time is not read with rotating hands on a clock face, but rather a fixed pointer indicates time on the slowly-rotating, numbered hour and minute discs. Moreover, these discs rotate counterclockwise, did you know that before standardization, some clocks moved clockwise while others moved counterclockwise? In the role of \"cuckoo” the Ugears Aero Clock features a model hot air balloon.

A more romantic model that could carry a love message to someone sitting opposite you, it also comes jam-packed with retro flair. As in other UGEARS models, the Tram is propelled by a rubber-band engine along a flat surface (tram mode). It can also be driven downhill by the pull of gravity in funicular mode, assuming one end of the rails is tilted higher than the other. Our Tram also comes equipped with a multitude of functioning levers. One on each end of the rails, can elevate them to make it appear as though the Tram is running over a bridge. Another engages the Tram’s pantograph function that pushes out the rubber-band’s wind-up wheel.

The model is wound by means of a ratchet knob under the chassis. Before winding your 3-D wooden Drift Cobra model racing car, move the air filter that protrudes from the hood toward the windshield, and flip the switch in front of the passenger-side seat into the Lock position (parallel to the door). Now twist the ratchet underneath the car's body. After 6 to 6.5 turns of the knob the spring is fully loaded, and vroom! vroom! your racer is ready to roar! Set the gear shift lever, located between the driver and passenger seats, to the desired position (Reverse, Neutral, Drive). To start the model, set it down on a flat surface, slide the air filter forward, and watch your Cobra lay rubber in a spin out (start with the wheels turned to one side), do circles, or speed down the track in a straight line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe think this 3D puzzle \/ DIY model is a beaut, with its fat tires, bulging curves (thanks to pieces that are precision laser-cut into fine 1mm plywood), a big open mouth up front, and open-air convertible design. This wooden car's moving parts include turning front wheels, doors that open, and a hood and trunk that can be raised. Instead of a rubber band motor we've used a powerful spring mechanism to provide the \"muscle\" in this racer and extend the model's usable life. The ratchet mechanism means you don't have to hold the knob the entire time you're winding the model—potential energy is stored with each twist, without slippage, until the strong internal spring is fully loaded.\u003cbr\u003eTo put the model in \"drift mode,\" turn the front wheels fully to one side or the other, set it down on a smooth surface such as tile, and watch as the model peels out in a sideways skid (ideally, your model should make a half to a full revolution before continuing forward, depending on the driving surface and turn angle of the wheels). When the wheels are set in their straight position, the model covers a lot of ground—8 metres or more! Set the wheels in a gentler turn, or put the racer down on a less slippery surface, and watch your Drift Cobra complete two or three full circles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DIY model kit for the Drift Cobra Racing Car includes 370 parts, with an estimated assembly time of nine hours, and is rated Advanced level.

Together with the gravity powered, wall-mounted Aero Clock, and now the spring-loaded Tourbillon Table Clock, we have doubly delivered! Clocks are complex mechanisms. We bet you never thought you could build your own clock out of wood, and have it keep accurate time! But with Ugears models, you become a creative partner in an amazing mechanical adventure. To create this amazing DIY clock made out of natural wood, our designers and engineers solved complex problems of friction, gearing, tooth strength, torsion of the clock body and tourbillon axles under spring load. Now the challenge is yours, to build it, bring it to life, and become the clockmaker in your own steampunk universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout feature of this functional and beautiful wooden model table clock is the rotating tourbillon that sits on top. In wrist and pocket watches a tourbillon mechanism helps increase accuracy by counteracting the effects of gravity when the watch is stationary. By seating the escape and balance wheel within a rotating cage, slight errors in timekeeping introduced by the force of gravity are averaged out. In table clocks and wall-mounted clocks a tourbillon often serves a more decorative purpose. This is true of the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock from Ugears, where the sphere of the tourbillon has been styled to resemble a large telescope observatory scanning the celestial sphere, like those at Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Perhaps it is creating a map of the heavens? Conducting infrared studies? Or maybe searching for new planets or signs of intelligent life?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first prototype of the tourbillon was developed in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, who also succeeded in reducing the size of the mechanism and mounting it into a pocket watch. More than a century later, in 1920, the \"flying tourbillon\" was developed by Alfred Helwig, which opened the mechanism to view by having it mounted on only one side, endowing it with an aesthetic function. Today, there are many variations on the tourbillon mechanism, including single, double and triple axis designs, but what is common to all designs is that they are a daunting engineering challenge. The idea that you can build your own tourbillon out of composite wood, from a DIY model kit, without need of glue or special tools, is kind of amazing, but amazement is what our Ugears customers have come to expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sky Watcher tourbillon mechanism has three axes of rotation: around the vertical axis of the clock, horizontal axis of the clock, and relative to the central axis of the inner sphere. The wind-up clock operates based on the accumulation of potential energy in a flat spring, and the metered release of this energy. When the model is fully wound it can power the timepiece for approximately 2-3 hours, sufficient for long observation of the mesmerizing mechanism, or to provide a pleasant background ticking clock sound and visual diversion for a period of work or rest. Rather than an all-too-common clock face with hands, we have created additional interest by having the time display placed on reels. The minute reel rotates smoothly with the progress of the tourbillon, while the hour reel marks the passage of time with a percussive mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanical adventure awaits when you order your Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, an exciting addition to the Ugears catalogue of 3D puzzles, DIY model kits, automatons, robots, wooden puzzle boxes and STEM Lab model kits. This model kit is definitely not for beginners, but will prove a delightful challenge for more experienced modellers. When assembling your Tourbillon Table Clock, the complexity of the mechanism must be taken into account. Remember, to keep accurate time, your clock requires lubrication and a neat, tidy assembly. Thanks to a balance wheel, the model allows for adjustments to its timekeeping whether the clock is running fast or slow, and of course you can set the current time on the display by turning the reels: minutes first, then hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock from Ugears will make a handsome, fascinating addition to any home or office space. Large in conception and design, this remarkable tabletop clock is modest in size, with a tower design that won't take up much of your desk space. Even in its static state, this 3D puzzle clock is a beautiful addition to your decor and a sure-fire conversation piece. It's also a great gift idea. Give this DIY clock kit as a holiday or birthday gift to your favorite hobbyist and present them with a wonderful challenge, or if that hobbyist is you, build it as a magnificent display piece for your own mantle or home office. You could also present a completed Ugears 3D puzzle clock as a special gift to a loved one, giving them a unique, handcrafted piece of art and engineering in which you have invested your time and talents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UGears Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39595377492070,"sku":"UGS70162","price":135.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2779\/3574\/products\/ugears-australia-construction-puzzles-ugears-sky-watcher-tourbillon-table-clock-28790737305702.jpg?v=1648505686"},{"product_id":"ugears-harry-potter-flying-ford-anglia","title":"Ugears - Harry Potter - Flying Ford Anglia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ugears Flying Ford AngliaTM has a spring drive that transmits torque to the rear wheels, providing drive power.

The Gee Bee R-1 won the Thompson Trophy (one of the most prestigious U.S. air races) in 1932, piloted by Jimmy Doolittle, who would go on to win the Medal of Honor for leading a daring bombing raid on Japan after Pearl Harbor. With a maximum speed of 294 mph, the R-1 lapped all but one of its competitors in the 1932 race because it was able to stay high on the course owing to its excellent maneuverability at high speeds.

The airplane model is powered by a wind-up helical spring motor, often used in watch mechanisms and other precision instruments. Various gear sets transmit power from the spring to the aircraft's movable parts. The Mad Hornet features two modes: pre-flight check mode and taxi mode. Choose the mode by setting the rotating drum in one of two positions. Insert the special key into the stopper slot, then give up to 21 pulls on the winding string. Place the aircraft on a flat surface, then remove the key and watch as your Mad Hornet comes to life. In check mode the propeller spins while the wing flaps and tail rudder wiggle, before the aircraft switches automatically to taxi across the airfield to the runway for takeoff. In taxi mode your aircraft starts taxiing immediately, traveling up to 2.5 meters!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUgears is known around the world for producing beautiful wooden DIY models and 3D puzzles, including all types of vehicles, cars, trucks, motorbikes, trains, boats and airplanes.

Every time we announce a new model, hopeful Ugears fans will ask, \"Is it an orrery?\" From this shared desire a project was born. Our mission: to spread knowledge of space and time by helping people visualize the movements of the planet we live on, and its closest satellite, the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUgears is proud to present the Mechanical Tellurion, an accurate wooden model representation of our corner of the universe. A tellurion (also spelled tellurian, tellurium, and sometimes called a loxocosm), is an ingenious mechanism that depicts the cosmic dance between Sun, Earth and Moon. The causes of day and night, the phases of the moon, and the changing seasons are seen and understood according to the movements of this 3D puzzle. A tellurion (from the Latin \u003cem\u003etellus\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning \"earth\") is related to the orrery, which illustrates the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in the solar system in a heliocentric model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is my place in the universe? Where am I going? We can't help you with the metaphysical aspect of these questions, but this wooden puzzle will help you understand the voyages you make as a passenger on planet Earth, and your interconnected relationship with some of your nearest celestial neighbors. We all experience the regular cycles of day and night, the phases of the moon, the changing of the seasons and the passing of the years. But how many of us truly understand these phenomena, or can explain what's behind the clocks and calendars that rule our lives? Any child can tell you how old they are, but ask a child how many times they've circled the sun, and you might get a puzzled look, or an amusing range of answers: A hundred twenty-seven? Ten thousand? Once? Never?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild the beguiling DIY wooden model Tellurion, enjoy showing it to your family and friends, and you will all have a better understanding of the heavens, the seasons, and the concept of time itself. Turn the handle to set the closely calibrated system of gears in motion. One turn of the handle = one rotation of the earth on its axis = one day. Point to a spot on Earth's surface, observe the spinning earth's position relative to the sun, and visualize sunrise and sunset, the passage of day into night. The Tellurion shows the phases of the moon are a function of the moon's position relative to the sun and earth. When rotating, the moon rises and falls slightly, thereby changing its trajectory. The earth's orbit around the sun, together with a correct depiction of the 23.5 degree inclined orientation of the earth on its axis, shows why we experience changing seasons (outside the equatorial regions). The Tellurion charts the passage of the seasons, while also giving a handsome graphic representation of the zodiac, showing the sign and constellation under which you were born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ugears Mechanical Tellurion can be manually adjusted or \"tuned\" to provide an accurate depiction of the relative positions of the sun, earth, and moon on any given day. When \"tuning\" the mechanism, set the pointer to the middle of winter or summer on the seasons dial. The earth, on its tilted axis, can be rotated (using a gear under the phases of the moon) to have either hemisphere be farthest from the sun in the bleak midwinter, or closest to the sun in summer. Turn the handle the correct number of days forward or back, from whichever solstice is closest in time, to set the present day. After consulting a lunar calendar, use the upper gear disk to adjust the position of the moon to its correct phase. Your Tellurion is now \"set.\" With each passing day, give the model one turn of the crank to chart the earth's progress around the sun, and the moon's lunar cycle as it orbits the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you study the movements of your Ugears model Tellurion, you will learn that the full moon occurs when the moon is behind the earth, away from the sun. This is because the sun illuminates the entire surface of the moon that is visible to us (the \"bright side\" of the moon). In contrast, when the moon is between the earth and the sun, the sun's rays illuminate that part of the moon that is turned away from us (the \"dark side\" of the moon). We call this phase the \"new moon,\" the period when the moon is not visible in the night sky. In the intervals between these phases, the moon waxes and wanes, changing its apparent shape, depending on how much of the illuminated part we can observe from the earth. The phases of the moon are just one of many somewhat counterintuitive astronomic understandings that are easy to visualize with the Ugears Tellurion 3D puzzle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Ugears, a rough approximation or \"close enough,\" isn't really our style. In representing the orbital periods of our planet and the moon, our design engineers have given the Mechanical Tellurion a sophisticated gear system (first worked out by Dutch mathematician Christiaan Huygens in the 17th C) to have the most accurate approximations possible in a wooden mechanism at this scale. The earth gearing has a 365.256 day orbital period, while the moon-earth gear system has an orbital period of 27.323, giving accuracies within one thousandth of a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ugears Mechanical Tellurion DIY model kit comes with 249 parts and is rated \"Medium,\" with an estimated construction time of 5 hours. This 3D representation of the earth's movements and its interplay with nearby celestial bodies will appeal to anyone interested in space, astronomy, skywatching, or to those wanting to understand, or teach a child, the basic natural phenomena that rule our lives: day\/night, the seasons, the lunar cycle, and the construct of time. The Tellurion is a great DIY project or gift idea for any hobbyist or budding astronomer.

Often built with a low, wide profile, sports coupes typically feature a powerful engine, sport-tuned suspension, aerodynamic design, and other performance-enhancing features that prioritize speed, agility, and handling. You don't buy a coupe for its fuel economy or trunk space, you buy it because a) you love to drive, b) you want to make a statement, and c) the cool factor.
