Construction Kits

An Intro to Engineering - simple machines to combustion engines. Ancient fighting machines, engine models, techno-balls, and much more.

All of the engines used in today's cars are internal combustion engines based on the four-stroke cycle invented by Alphonse Beau de Rochas in 1861. Discover how these engines work! Follow the instructions and diagrams to assemble the 100+ parts of this four-stroke internal combustion engine. Assemble the moving pistons, camshaft, cooling fan and timing belt. Observe how the sparking plugs light up as they fire.

This amazing series of marble runs is just perfect for techno-mad lads and their dads! Hours of fun are guaranteed - an ingenious puzzle to put together, the finished kit has a truly hypnotic appeal as the powered chain drive returns the marbles again and again! This model includes a multiple-spiral tower.

The 30 MODELS set contains enough parts to build fairly large and functional models and also includes the Engino 3V geared motor for some amazing contraptions! The featured motorised pterosaur uses a crank to convert rotational motion to reciprocating, moving the wings up and down and creating a flapping effect. The other models include a tow-truck, a motorbike with turning wheels and cranes e.t.c. (one at a time).

This excellent Mini Solar building kit teaches children the benefits of solar energy while they create a toy that is both fun to play with and requires no batteries. The 6 in 1 Educational Solar Kit is an excellent beginner building kit designed to teach how solar power is used to drive a small motor. Children use the 21 snap together parts (no tools required) to build six different working models including an airboat, windmill, puppy, and two different planes.
