Ugears Combine

Experience the wonder of motion mechanics first-hand with the UGears Integrate harvester model kit. This model provides a world-class example of motion mechanics and is best for showing the fundamentals of device movement and how energy can be transferred between challenge produce the function of an engine.

Building mechanical designs is a fantastic way to exercise your head and hands. Design packages are frequently used to help boost hand-eye coordination, persistence, teleological thinking, and an understanding of the physics and mechanics associated with the model being developed. We thoroughly create all of our moving designs to run using basic, real-life mechanical principles which the builder can observe and appreciate both while building the model and while seeing it run after it's been finished.

A combine harvester is a complex device that is so-called since it "combines" 3 different parts of harvesting crops into one device: enjoying, threshing, and winnowing. Prior to the combine harvester, harvesting crops was a stressful and lengthy practice that could take big groups of people days or weeks of effort simply to pick the crops, to state absolutely nothing of processing them into food or product for commercial use.

The earliest combine harvesters emerged in the 1820s, 2 entire centuries back! These first harvesters were drawn by mules, oxen, or other livestock. When steam engines started to make a splash, it wasn't long before steam-powered engines were integrated into combine harvester styles. These harvesters were a lot more pricey and large, however, numerous farmers stuck to livestock-driven harvesters. That all started to change with the advent of the internal combustion engine around the turn of the 20th century, and it wouldn't be long till the gas or diesel-driven combine harvester all of us know today became the gold requirement for crop harvesting.

Don't worry about gas or coal, costs, though; the UGears Integrate harvester model kit is set in motion by a rubber-band motor! Roll the model backwards to power the motor up, release the handbrake, and watch it go! Enjoy your model head for the fields with its spinning wheels and turning cutter board much like a real combine harvester would.

The finished model likewise has a hidden compartment that can be opened with a lever which lies to the left of the driver's cabin. This compartment can be used as storage for individual tidbits or spare parts. This lever likewise works as a brake to lock or run the harvester.
