The rear rudder blade is steered by the ropes connected through the pontoons to the master wheel on the stern. The hydrofins on the side of the pontoons make the model stable and steady while creating a visual effect of the elevation of the model. The side pontoons are attached to the main body with a load frame designed to match the style of the hulls.

The mainsail of the Trimaran Merihobus is set on the mast groove with the main top halliard. The staysail “rolls up” on a stay. At the front under the bowsprit you will find the staysail’s winch drum. Sail booms are operated by a lever that pulls the sheet of the boom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe anchor cable winch based inside the Trimaran’s body has an automatic-tensioning mechanism that picks up an anchor.

Wall Clock with Pendulum","description":"\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAero Clock. Wall clock with pendulum – wooden mechanical 3D puzzle from UGEARS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe time has come! For years, we've been hearing the same question again and again from our loyal customers: \"Can Ugears create a working clock model kit, one that actually keeps accurate time?\" A working mechanical wooden clock has long been our #1 \"most-requested\" new design. Your dream has also been our dream, and our team of dedicated Ugears engineers and designers has been working hard to bring this shared dream into reality. Finally, the wait is over. Ugears is proud to present the Aero Clock, a fully-functioning DIY wall clock with pendulum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Aero Clock isn't just a 3D wooden mechanical model, or a pretty showpiece. The Ugears Clock is an actual working clock that you can build yourself, mount to a wall, wind up, then watch as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by. The Aero Clock is an ingenious puzzle and DIY clock mechanism, unlike any other clock. It is a lovely piece of precise engineering that reveals the workings of a weighted pendulum clock to builders and viewers alike. Like all Ugears models, it also has that extra touch of whimsy, to captivate and charm our growing legion of fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis simple-yet-elegant Ugears clock is driven by the force of gravity pulling down a weighted bag (you can fill the bag with sand or salt). 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. The suspended balloon rapidly descends when the hour strikes, then slowly rises again over the course of the next hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe theme of the Aero Clock is early aeronautics. Take a trip back in time to the dawn of flight and the \"balloonomania\" that seized France and England in 1783 on the occasion of the first free aerial voyage in a balloon. This was followed two years later by the first aerial crossing of the English Channel by intrepid aeronauts Jean-Pierre Blanchard and John Jeffries. We love this wooden model clock's steampunk sensibility and spirit of adventure, and we think you will too! Imagine yourself a discoverer of new horizons and a conqueror of the four winds. The casing and intriguing wooden clock mechanism represent an air base located among the clouds, where zephyrs blow and filtered rays of sunlight dapple the machinery, while you, in the role of aeronaut, launch a new voyage of exploration on the hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Ugears wooden model clock kit celebrates the role of clocks in exploration. Did you know the problem of calculating longitude, critical to accurate navigation at sea, was solved with a clock? The idea was proposed by Dutch mathematician Gemma Frisius in 1530, but it wasn't until the mid-18th century when English clockmaker John Harrison developed a series of shipboard clocks so precise (accurate to within a ⅕ of a second per day) that ship captains could at last calculate their position at sea to within a few nautical miles. By knowing the exact time back in London (Greenwich Meridian Time, or GMT), and calculating the time at current position with celestial observation, navigators could calculate where they were on the earth's surface. Latitude had been solved by the Phoenicians as early as 600 B.C. with celestial reckoning—measuring the altitude of the sun at noon, or the angle made between the North Star (or other navigational stars) and the horizon. But the longitude problem would bedevil explorers for another 2,000 years. Harrison was eventually awarded the £20,000 first prize (roughly $1.5 million today) established in Parliament's Longitude Act of 1714, after demonstrating the accuracy of his masterful clocks at sea. Now you too can become a clockmaker, with the Ugears Aero Clock model kit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased at a moment when the world seems to have slowed down, the Ugears Aero Clock, a wooden wall clock with pendulum that you build yourself, is both timeful and timeless in its simple elegance. This beautiful and functional wooden wall clock model is for horologists, for hobbyists, for explorers, for creatives and romantics of every stripe, anyone who is ready for new challenges and ready to take risks.

(Those of the Aztecs were far grander). In 1846 British marine zoologist Anna Thynne created and maintained the first ecologically balanced marine aquarium over a period of three years, providing the inspiration for the London Zoo's Fish House seven years later. It wasn't until a century later, in the 1950s, that saltwater aquariums as a personal hobby really took off. Because of the need to periodically replenish tanks with fresh seawater, most early hobbyists lived near the ocean. Saltwater tanks have always required the hobbyist to buy quite a bit of associated equipment, including filtration, aeration, and lighting systems. Over the years, the aesthetics and technologies associated with saltwater aquariums have progressed, with bleached corals giving way to live rock and coral species, better water quality testing, better temperature control systems, commercial captive-breeding and coral propagation to reduce harvesting from vulnerable marine environments, and better understanding of species interconnectedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNot everyone is up to the challenges or expense of setting up and maintaining a saltwater fish tank.

The Marble Run Stepped Hoist features a 3-marble accumulator in which the third ball opens the gates for the trapped first and second marbles, sending all three along their divergent paths. There are three tracks: the first consists of a 2-marble accumulator and serpentine run, the second is a hammer swing inside a C-shaped cradle, and the third has a whirlpool or funnel. All marbles eventually pass through the collection tray and into the seesaw lift. A rocker switch mechanism either sends the marbles back along the return track to the 3-stepped lift, or (and this is where it gets really exciting!) into another attached Ugears marble run.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have designed the Ugears line of marble runs to be modular, that is, each model works as a standalone, or it can be connected frontally or laterally to other Ugears marble runs of the same or different design (2 or 4 models can be connected, in pairs, using the special connectors included in the kit). The rocker mechanism at the end of the run can send marbles in one direction or the other, or in both directions (depending on the attached weight), returning marbles to the original hoist or sending them to a different marble run.

Well, make room on the shelf, because a powerful new mechanical model just muscled its way into the Ugears Automotive collection. Introducing the Drift Cobra Racing Car, a beautifully-styled, two-seat convertible—our twist on what may be the most revered sports car of all time: the Shelby Cobra 427. The Cobra 427, produced between 1965-67, had a 7.0 litre 450-510 horsepower engine, did 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds, and had a top speed of 185 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCarroll Shelby, a former race car driver and automotive designer, was hired by the Ford Motor Co. to develop a high performance racer able to compete with the dominant Italian race team of Ferrari. The Americans' four consecutive victories at the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour race between 1966-69, in Ford GT40s, is the stuff of legend. More recently, it was the subject of the Oscar-winning 2019 film, \"Ford v Ferrari,\" starring Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as Ken Miles, the ace driver for the 1966 Ford team. The success of the cars coming out of Shelby's surfside Venice, California shop were the crest of a wave of American high performance supercars or muscle cars, characterized by powerful V8 motors placed into relatively lightweight, mass-produced, rear-wheel drive chassis. The Shelby Cobra stands out as an American icon, perhaps the greatest muscle car and most \"posterized\" car in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigned for drag racing but street legal, muscle cars offer incredible automotive power at a relatively affordable price point. The scarcity and unbelievable auction prices today of some of these classic street beasts is due in no small part to the fact that they were often more car than their owners could handle, resulting in frequent crashes. Muscle cars have squared off in many an illegal street race, sometimes with ownership papers on the line (another way to lose your muscle car!). In that spirit, why not convene a gathering of model building friends, show off your newly-built Ugears Drift Cobra Racing Cars, put your car modelling prowess to the test and race for pinks! But remember: the first rule of Ugears race club is: you do not talk about Ugears race club. The second rule of Ugears race club is: you do not talk about Ugears race club!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDriven by a powerful spring motor, the Ugears Drift Cobra racing car has the fastest team of horses under the hood of any mechanical wooden model we know. 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 meters 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.

Newton's three laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation were thought to be sufficient to explain phenomena of any kind, using mechanical conceptions. At Ugears we love mechanical conceptions! And so with a nod to Isaac Newton, we present the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, a fascinating combination of imaginative celestial observatory and functional table clock!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor years, Ugears fans around the world clamored for us to create a functional wooden clock model. 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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, such that a watch featuring a tourbillon will fetch a significantly higher price than models that lack the mechanism. 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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. Your Sky Watcher clock comes with detailed, illustrated instructions in 11 languages (English, German, Ukrainian, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Japan, Italian, Chinese and Korean). If you break a part during assembly, just let our customer service team know. Replacement parts are free, as part of our overall commitment to customer service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock from Ugears will make a handsome, fascinating addition to any home or office space.

The spring's energy is transferred to a gear set to increase the gear ratio, through the gearbox, then to the drive shaft, differential, and rear axle. A Start\/Stop mechanism located in the truck bed allows you to start the truck on command. Because this is Ugears, and because we love to focus on the small, whimsical details that make a model exceptional, a small pendulum under the seats simulates the shaking of a truck's powerful engine. Bent plywood gives the model beautiful lines and 1950's styling. The Pickup's doors open from inside and outside, and the tailgate folds down. The front wheels can be turned using the steering wheel and locked in place for graceful turns.

Good to go. Three strong pulls and it fires up. Before the sun is overhead the bed of your Pickup Lumberjack is stacked high with cut logs. You drive back the way you came, along the only road into these woods—the road you and your trusty truck know so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Pickup Lumberjack from Ugears is the newest addition to our outstanding collection of trucks, cars, motorbikes and other vehicles.

This unique entrant in our growing collection of entertaining wooden marble runs features a 3-tiered stair lift that raises the marbles to the top for amusement park adventures. This wooden DIY kit is both a 3D puzzle and a fun toy. The Marble Run Tiered Hoist features a fascinating lift, three new track elements, and interesting trap and release mechanisms sprinkled throughout. Turn the hand crank and watch the marbles make their journeys through various obstacles down to the collection tray below. Multiple tracks and elements are packed into a compact space in this well-designed DIY marble run.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhich marble will take which track, and what adventures await? Guessing is part of the fun. The Marble Run Tiered Hoist has three main marble tracks. The first features a marble trap in which three marbles must work together to make their escape. The third ball is the hero, opening the gate for the second trapped marble, which in turn opens the gate for the first—teamwork! All three marbles then escape down a well. The second track is a speedy roller coaster, and the third is a four-level ramp descent. All marbles come to rest in the collection tray, where they form an orderly line behind a gate, waiting their turn for more adventures! A special rocker arm presses the gate down and carries each marble to the return track, where they run like excited school children back to the tiered hoist to begin the next ride.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe model kit comes with everything you need right in the box. Individual pieces are laser pre-cut into high quality wood composite boards, and can be snapped together without need of glue or special tools. We've included a set of detailed, illustrated instructions in 11 languages to guide you on your build. There are 10 colored marbles included in the kit, plus sandpaper and wax to smooth and lubricate the gears and other moving parts. The Marble Run Tiered Hoist has 315 pieces, is rated \"Advanced\" level, and has an estimated assembly time of 5 hours. If you break a piece during construction, don't worry! Our team of outstanding customer service representatives will gladly fill your request for replacement parts, free of charge, as part of our commitment to outstanding customer service.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have designed the Marble Run Tiered Hoist and the entire line of Ugears marble runs to be modular, that is, the Tiered Hoist works as a standalone or it can be connected frontally or laterally to other Ugears marble runs of the same or different design (2 or 4 models can be connected, in pairs, using the special connectors included in the kit). A trigger mechanism just before the return track can send marbles back to the tiered hoist, to an adjoining marble run, or toggle between the two (you set your preference with a pull latch). Connect up to four marble runs to form an amazing, complex system of interconnected elements, all powered by a single crank. It's like the marbles have been turned loose for a fun day at a miniature amusement park! Keep an eye on your favorite marble and watch its ever-changing adventures through a series of obstacles, lifts, and tracks.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUgears marble runs, and our entire collection of Ugears models, puzzle boxes, wooden puzzles, and brain teasers, are not just static models for display, they are meant for hours of play. With that in mind, we designed the Tiered Hoist to have a strong base and tightened frame parts to provide rigidity to the structure. A muscular gear drive delivers power both to the 3-tiered stair lift and to the rocker arm down below. Accept the challenge of building this ingenious device, then enjoy hours of fun watching the colored marbles climb the stairs, pass through various obstacles, free each other from captivity, then wait their turn to start again. Marble runs and marble races are an online video phenomenon, with thousands of videos racking up millions of views.

Enjoy hours of construction fun, then when your marble run DIY masterpiece is complete, send the marbles on their maiden runs. Watch your ingenious machine raise marbles up the stairs before sending them down a multi-tiered ramp, through a roller coaster ride, or into a trap, from which the marbles can only escape with a little help from their friends. The Ugears Marble Run Tiered Hoist is an intriguing standalone machine, or it can form part of an intricate, interconnected collection of Ugears marble runs.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLooking for a unique addition to your home or office?

Bring a fearsome ancient apex predator to life!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUgears launches its dinosaur automaton collection with the most fearsome predator to ever walk the earth: the Tyrannosaurus Rex. This mechanical DIY wooden model of a walking tyrannosaur is driven by a metal spring, which transmits power through a reduced gear, turning the axle that drives the legs. A clever system of links and connections allows this king of the dinosaurs to walk on its own two feet—the first bi-pedal walker in the Ugears collection! An eccentric gear sets the tail swaying in synchronous motion with the legs, helping the dinosaur keep its balance and not fall to the side, just as in nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUp to 13 meters in length and 9 metric tonnes in weight, tyrannosaurs had the largest teeth of any carnivorous dinosaur, capable of tearing flesh and crunching bone. They also had highly-developed senses of smell, on par with vultures, and incredibly acute eyesight—better than eagles. They were the apex predators of the late Cretaceous period, roaming over what is now western North America, in environments ranging from bayous to semi-arid plains. Their giant rear legs and swaying tail made them efficient walkers, capable of stalking prey over long distances before closing in for the kill with a burst of speed. They could also smell carrion at a great distance then chase other predators from the carcass, making them the bullies of the Cretaceous lunch room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis amazing walking dinosaur model is a wind-up DIY wooden scale model of a full-grown Tyrannosaurus Rex. The top of the tail conceals the winding key. Remove the key and insert into the ratchet mechanism on the dinosaur's left side, making sure the head of the left femur is clear of the opening (if you need to, flip the on\/off switch to the \"on\" position, then spin the gear above the T-Rex's shoulders to move the leg). Flip the on\/off switch to the \"off\" position (toward the head) and wind the mechanism half a dozen times clockwise, replacing the key to its position between the tail and body. Place the Tyrannosaurus on a smooth, flat surface, holding the automaton by the body (don't squeeze the legs together!), flip the on switch and release. Your Tyrannosaur will stalk away, in search of its next meal, its tail swinging and jaws crunching up and down in anticipation. It's actually kind of terrifying!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ugears Tyrannosaurus Rex is rated \"Advanced\" level, has 249 parts, and promises 8 hours of exciting assembly time.

Like our Tyrannosaurus Rex model, the Triceratops is driven by a metal spring which transmits power through a reduction gear, turning the axle that drives the four legs.

They were such a successful species that a leading paleontologist has estimated that five sixths of all large dinosaurs at the time were Triceratops! Their most identifiable features are the large skull (roughly one third of the total body length!), the large horns above the eye sockets, measuring up to 1 meter in length, and the large bony frill on top of the skull. Some paleontologists think the horns and frill were used for combat, while others think they served for visual display, especially in courtship. Triceratops skeletons have been found with partially healed bite marks from Tyrannosaurs, suggesting both predation and successful defense.

Hint: if the legs are blocking the winding slot, wind from the other side, or press the \"Start\" button and spin the large gear under the dinosaur's belly to advance the legs until the winding slot is clear. Press the \"Stop\" switch and give six or seven full twists of the key to wind the spring, then return the key to its position between the shoulder blades. Place the Triceratops on a smooth, flat surface, holding the automaton gently by the tail, push the \"Start\" switch down and release.

Perhaps its greatest accomplishment was the April 25, 1990 deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope (\"HST\") which revolutionized astronomy and astrophysics, particularly our understanding of the age and expansion of the universe. With characteristics of a rocket (for vertical launch) and a glider aircraft (for landings), space shuttles were the workhorses of America's space program at the turn of the 21st Century, and were critical to the construction and maintenance of the ISS (International Space Station).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNow you can build this iconic orbiter and imagine yourself a participant in its signature mission to further the work of exploration and scientific discovery in launching the Hubble telescope. Ugears' NASA Space Shuttle Discovery model is actually a remarkable three-in-one: orbiter, stand and satellite. The Shuttle is a 1:96 scale model of Discovery, with two cargo bays that open to reveal the HST model, which features movable solar panels and aperture door. The Shuttle's front and rear bays open independently, for storing or launching the telescope. To open the front cargo bay, turn the wheel near the cabin in the direction of the arrow marked \"Open.\" A similar wheel on the tail section opens and closes the rear cargo bay.

A ratchet mechanism on the stand allows you to adjust the tension of the lines. You can change the pitch of the spacecraft up and down by hand, simply by pulling on the tension lines, or adjust the roll of the spacecraft left and right either by moving the stand by hand or using the stand's ratchet dial.

This working pinball game is based on the fictional wizarding game of Quidditch™ from the beloved series of Harry Potter books and movies, where players fly around an aerial arena while trying to throw or hit the Quaffle™ through three rings on their opponents' side of the field, scoring ten points each time they do. Any team catching the Golden Snitch™ scores 150 points and wins the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DIY Ugears Quidditch™ Pinball model is a visually-stunning stadium, comprising a playing field made of cardboard printed with decorative elements, 8 elevated viewing platforms engraved with the logos of the four houses of Hogwarts™ (Gryffindor™, Hufflepuff™, Ravenclaw™ and Sytherin™), functional scoreboard, a chest for storing the Golden Snitch™ and three Quaffle™ balls, and functional pinball game elements including flippers, bumpers, targets and obstacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare your Ugears Quidditch™ Pinball game by first making sure the model is assembled correctly and all moving parts work properly. Place the model on a flat surface then retrieve the yellow ball (Snitch™) from the chest and place it on its reserved spot on the left rail. Insert the three red balls (Quaffles™) into the hole on the left front of the model. Raise the three targets in the center of the field by pressing on the two bumpers and the launch ramp immediately behind the targets. Twist the dial on the back of the scoreboard to set it to three zeros and you're ready to play!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo play the game, press in the \"New Game\" sign on the front of the model, sending the three Quaffles™ toward the trigger. Press down the ball lift lever on the front right to raise the first Quaffle into the ready position, then pull the side trigger back and release sharply, launching the ball onto the playing field. Place your hands on the flipper buttons located on the left and right sides of the game, pressing these to keep each ball in play for as long as you can. Knock down the three targets to create a clear path to the rings, defended by a toggling Keeper (Ron Weasley) and two Beaters (the Weasley twins—Fred and George). Each time a Quaffle™ passes through a ring on the far side of the field you score ten points (press the button on the top right of the scoreboard to keep a running tally of points) and the Quaffle™ returns to be sent back into play. Defend your own three rings by not letting the Quaffles™ get past your flippers, or they'll drop out of play. Once all three Quaffles™ have dropped through your own rings the game is over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greatest challenge of the game, and the surest way to win, is to catch the Snitch. This can be done by sending a Quaffle™ up onto the rails, by launching it off the inclined center ramp (the ramp raises into position once the center target is hit). If a Quaffle™ lands on the right rail it will be conducted back into play, while a Quaffle™ landing on the left rail will ride down until it releases the Snitch into the waiting arms of Harry Potter™.

Thanks to the balanced arrangement of two banks of four cylinders in a V configuration, V8 engines produce less vibration than six cylinder engines, allowing for a larger engine with greater horsepower. Patented in 1902 by French engineer Léon Levavasseur, the V8 is most widely known for providing the muscle in muscle cars, but did you know V8 engines were first used extensively in powerboats, and have even been used in airplanes and motorbikes? Motorheads and modeling enthusiasts have been asking us for years for a complex engine model, and here it is: the Ugears V8 Engine!\u003cbr\u003eThe V8 Engine is a 1:6 scale model that operates using either an electric motor or by turning a knob, allowing you to watch the mesmerizing workings of this iconic internal combustion engine. The model fully replicates all main mechanisms in a real V8, including eight cylinders with pistons moving in cycle, with two cylinders \"firing\" for every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation, 16 spring-loaded valves opening and closing as they are pushed by heads on the rotating camshafts, crankcase and valve train components linked with a timing chain, and a throttle valve on the intake manifold. The model is powered by an electric motor styled as a generator. A serpentine belt connects the crankshaft pulley to various pulleys representing engine accessories like the A\/C compressor, alternator, power steering pump and water pump. Connect the model to a power source using a USB-C cable, then flip the on\/off switch to \"on\" to watch your engine come to life, or manually set the V-8 engine in motion by twisting the knob located under the on\/off switch.\u003cbr\u003eOther amazingly realistic details include stylized exhaust manifolds, spark plugs, oil pan, dipstick, and caps on top for oil and brake fluid. The model is assembled in stages—first the cylinder block, then the valve blocks, allowing you to better understand the workings of the engine. The rubber band on the front of the engine can be replaced easily, while the throttle rubber band can also be replaced by removing the intake manifold. The timing chain has 32 links, and its tension can be adjusted using two tensioners, ensuring that the chain is not too loose or too tight.\u003cbr\u003eThe Ugears V8 Engine is an Advanced level build, intended for experienced modelers. Your efforts will be rewarded with a deeper understanding of the workings of an internal combustion engine as you build and operate this highly realistic wooden model engine. This intricate 3D puzzle engine can be assembled without glue or special tools, following the step-by-step, illustrated instructions in 11 languages (English, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean). Parts are made from art-quality composite wood and are punched out of laser pre-cut boards.
