Flapping Bird Engineering Kit

The Flapping Bird Engineering Kit lets you build a mechanical bird and see how gears and linkages turn motor power into realistic flapping motion. You assemble the wooden mechanism, follow how motion travels through the model, then turn the control knob to start the bird and adjust its wing speed.

Key features

• Gears and linkages convert motor power into flapping
• Control knob starts the bird and adjusts flapping speed
• Wooden mechanism you assemble yourself
• Keep the natural wood or paint your own design

Tracing the motion from the motor through the linkages to the wings makes it easy to understand how mechanisms work, and adjusting the speed shows the effect right away. It suits teens and adults as well as younger builders working with a grown-up. Pairs nicely with the Flapping Butterfly kit. Browse more mechanical models.
