| Pulleys,
Cams and Cranks
This package introduces one of the first invented
machines, the Pulleys. Pulleys have been around for
centuries, originally for transferring force with reduced
friction and later for increasing force at amazing
levels. Two pulleys combined with a belt create a belt
drive that can reduce or increase speed and power.
Cams and Cranks are used to convert reciprocal to linear
motion. Learn all about these incredible Machines that
even today are crucial components of most mechanical
devices. Build an oil drill, a stationary bike, cranes,
a moving figure, a machine blender and much more. Detailed
instructions for 10 models are included.
