Features:

• Recommended for ages 8+ years
• Assemble it and discover the principle of a working Pendulum
• The model comes with a QR Code to download an interactive Pocket Model Study Guide which includes engaging and interesting tasks to learn more about the Pendulum
• Immerse yourself in Augmented Reality (AR), find out how the Pendulum is used in a clock mechanism, and interact with it via the dedicated Ugears application
• The Pendulum is an interactive puzzle kit to help learn and better understanding the common element in mechanical clocks
• The pendulum is one of the basic and most reliable time measuring mechanisms
• Its working principle is based on the model’s constant amplitude oscillation under the force of gravity (weight) and potential energy (tension force) of the rubber band
• The rubber band powers the mechanism of the model and compensates for the pendulum’s oscillations’ kinetic energy loss
• The model has an anchor escapement controlling the frequency of oscillations, a weight, a scape-wheel, gearing, rubber band, ratchet, and pawl reducing operation error
• The model has several means to control the frequency of oscillations: the weight of the pendulum bob, the vertical position of the weight on the pendulum, and the tension of the rubber band
• Pendulums are mainly used in mechanical clocks as an element of a launch mechanism and the way to provide a steady rate
• In the musical sphere, metronomes that have pendulums as their chief constructional element, help musicians practice playing to a regular tempo
• Pendulums are also used in geological surveying, seismography, sports, and laboratory research in mechanics and physics
