Ugears Combine

Experience the wonder of motion mechanics first-hand with the UGears Integrate harvester design package. This design supplies a world-class example of motion mechanics and is ideal for demonstrating the fundamentals of maker movement and how energy can be transferred between objects to produce the function of an engine.

Building mechanical designs is a fantastic way to exercise your head and hands. Model sets are typically used to assist boost hand-eye coordination, perseverance, teleological thinking, and an understanding of the physics and mechanics involved in the design being constructed. We carefully design all of our moving designs to operate utilizing basic, real-life mechanical principles which the home builder can observe and value both while developing the design and while seeing it run after it's been finished.

A combine harvester is an elaborate maker that is so-called because it "combines" three different parts of gathering crops into one maker: reaping, threshing, and winnowing. Prior to the combine harvester, gathering crops was a stressful and lengthy practice that might take big groups of individuals days or weeks of hard work simply to pick the crops, to state nothing of processing them into food or product for business use.

The earliest combine harvesters emerged in the 1820s, two whole centuries ago! These very first harvesters were drawn by mules, oxen, or other animals. When steam engines began to make a splash, it wasn't long prior to steam-powered engines were integrated into combine harvester styles. These harvesters were far more pricey and bulky, though, many farmers stuck with livestock-driven harvesters. That all began to alter with the development of the internal combustion engine around the turn of the 20th century, and it would not be long up until the gas or diesel-driven combine harvester all of us understand today became the gold requirement for crop harvesting.

Don't worry about gas or coal, costs, though; the UGears Integrate harvester design package is set in motion by a rubber-band motor! Roll the design backward to power the motor up, launch the handbrake, and view it go! View your design head for the fields with its spinning wheels and rotating cutter board similar to a real combine harvester would.

The finished design likewise has a surprise compartment that can be opened up with a lever which lies to the left of the chauffeur's cabin. This compartment can be used as storage for individual tidbits or extra parts. This lever likewise functions as a brake to lock or run the harvester.

The UGears Integrate harvester design has 154 top quality precision-cut plywood parts. The approximated time of assembly for the design is about 2-3 hours. All 154 parts are carefully cut from strong plywood boards utilizing a high-accuracy laser cutting technique to make sure quality and reliability. Ranked at intermediate trouble, this design appropriates for ages 14 and up.
