Simple Machines Kits & Experiments

Simple machines are mechanical devices that use levers, wheels, axles, pulleys, etc. to convert force into motion and to perform work. Flywheel Powered zeCars are perfect examples of the wheel and axle in action. Dancing Robots and Sliders include levers and rotating cams, and show the change from elastic potential into kinetic energy. Our Wooden Car Kit is a classic demonstration of potential and kinetic energy, and changing variables. The PowerWheel is a micro hydro generator - an amazing tool for teaching lessons about energy, hydro-power and other renewable sources of energy.
