Assemble a hydraulic arm with which you can grab, lift and move various objects. This cognitive science kit will introduce you to hydraulic technology, robotics and design skills. And all this & ndash; in game format!
You will need a small Phillips screwdriver, an empty can and some water to assemble and experiment with the 4M kit. Thanks to the fluid, power is transferred from your hand to the claw of the hydraulic mechanism. When you push the piston, the water pressure increases, pushing the next piston. This activates the rods, which cause the hydraulic arm to grip. This principle underlies hydraulics.
Use an empty can to practice gripping and manipulation. And when you learn to control the hydraulic arm & ndash; move on to other subjects. Avoid fragile objects and animals so as not to harm them.
Most hydraulic arms work on the same principle. Hydraulics are also used in the braking systems of cars, motorcycles and bicycles. When you press the pedal or handbrake, the fluid in the system moves and presses on the piston that engages the brakes.
The KidzLabs series will be of interest to preschoolers from 5 years old. Children will get acquainted with robotics, develop ingenuity and thinking, increase the level of intelligence, train design skills.
