Frequently Asked Questions

The box contains 2 magnetic rods, 6 ball bearings, 8 plastic arm pieces, 8 plastic discs, 8 plastic disc connectors, a base cylinder, a printed compass disc, and a step-by-step instruction booklet - everything needed to build the working compass in one box.
No batteries are required at any point. Once assembled, the magnetic arm rests on the ball bearing base and rotates freely, aligning itself to magnetic north using the Earth's own magnetic field - the same principle behind a traditional compass needle.
The Easy Combo system built into every Mechanics Motion set allows it to connect to other sets in the Geomag Mechanics Gravity product line in as few as three moves, so children can expand their builds into larger chain-reaction constructions as their collection grows.
