Uncover the dynamic forces of magnetism and gravity with the Geomag Mechanics Motion Magnetic Gears 96 Pieces set. This engaging construction system builds upon traditional magnetic rods and spheres by introducing mechanical elements such as gears and ball bearings, expanding the possibilities for interactive play. Children can assemble fascinating structures where parts rotate and initiate chain reactions, driven by magnetic attraction and repulsion. The kit offers a hands-on experience, allowing young builders to set their creations in motion and explore fundamental physics principles. It’s a fantastic STEM product designed to stimulate creativity and ingenuity.

Features:

  • Integrates mechanical elements like gears and ball bearings with magnetic construction.
  • Enables the creation of models with rotating parts and chain reactions.
  • Powered by the principles of gravity and magnetic attraction/repulsion.
  • Develops creativity, problem-solving skills, and an understanding of physics.
  • Made with 80% recycled plastic.
  • Includes 96 pieces for diverse building projects.
  • Often includes storage boxes for organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The box contains 96 pieces in total: magnetic rods in multiple colours, steel spheres, gear rings, ball bearings, structural elements such as plates, tubes and washers, three storage boxes for organising the components, and a printed instruction booklet. No batteries are required.
Each magnetic rod has a north and a south pole at opposite ends. By positioning rods so that like poles face each other, children create a repulsion force that pushes components apart and sets the gears spinning - no motor or batteries needed. Identifying and setting the correct polarities before building is the key first step shown in the instruction booklet.
Geomag Mechanics Motion shares the same standard magnetic rods and steel spheres used across the classic Geomag range, so those components are interchangeable. The specialised mechanical parts - gear rings, ball bearings, plates and tubes - are specific to the Mechanics Motion line and are not directly compatible with non-Mechanics sets such as Geomag Panels or Geomag Color.
