Research Vessel

The UGEARS Research Vessel is a wooden ship model inspired by real icebreakers and survey ships. A rubber-band motor with a pendulum regulator gives it the steady pace and sound of a diesel engine, and it can move forward, turn, or manoeuvre automatically. The skeleton-style hull leaves the engine room in view, so you can watch the mechanics at work.
