Frequently Asked Questions

The set contains 46 non-magnetic metal spheres, 26 blue magnetic rods, 1 indicator rod, and 91 plastic elements - including the parts needed to build the vertical rotation system shown on the box. An instruction booklet is also included to guide builders through the model designs.
Geomag Mechanics is an extension of the Geomag Classic system, so the magnetic rods and steel spheres are compatible with other Classic-format sets. The mechanical plastic elements are specific to the Mechanics line, but combining this set with a Classic set simply adds more rods and spheres to build larger structures.
Models in this set can be driven by either a manual push or magnetic force - children identify the north and south poles of the rods to make structures repel and attract, creating self-sustaining spinning motion. The vertical rotation system lets builders construct wheel-style frames that rotate on a vertical axis, demonstrating real mechanical and magnetic principles in action.
