NEW Tugboat 3D Mechanical Wooden Building Model Kit from UGEARS

Description

NEW/Sealed Box
FUNCTIONAL MECHANISM: The idea behind the tugboat was to create a functional mechanism, but with a certain spice that would make it both down-to-earth and interesting. And of course it was supposed to be a type of marine transport
DETAILED BODY: We like to think that many of you enjoy watching the working of the gears as much as we do, this is why the detailed body of the Tugboat is designed to expose the beautiful mechanism in motion. This way you will be able to fully appreciate the main technical features we implemented in this model
MOTOR: The Tugboat is driven by a rubber-band motor powered by the tension of the rubber connected with a bearing. The reduction gear transfers energy to the drive wheel and further to the asymmetrical wheel pair. The pendulum slows and evens the motion of the tugboat
WHEELS: The asymmetry of the wheel pair grants the model its unique way of moving, imitating a boat rocking on the waves, while the working pendulum creates a specific noise similar to one produced by the real-life diesel motor many boats are equipped with
LEVERS: The winding key on the drive wheel is blocked by a ratchet gear. There are two control levers, one of which stops the mechanism and the other launches it stop and start lever correspondingly. Use two ropes with hooks to hook up and transport small freight wheeled models or a paper boat. Your Tugboat will run from 1.5 to 3 meters depending on the type of surface
