Frequently Asked Questions

The set's centrepiece is a fully functional Magnetic Cannon, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's original drawings, in which magnetic force propels steel spheres along a launch rail. The instruction booklet guides builders through three progressive stages - from a small starter cannon to a large 266-piece structure - so the challenge grows as skills develop.
The connector hubs and magnetic rods in this set use the standard Geomag Mechanics system, so pieces are compatible with other sets in the Mechanics range. Combining this Anniversary Edition with additional Mechanics sets expands the number of models and chain-reaction configurations you can create.
No batteries are needed at any point. All movement in the models - including the Magnetic Cannon's launching action - is powered entirely by the magnets embedded in the rods and the mechanical energy stored in the structure itself, making it a fully self-contained building and physics experience.
