Sparklz Wind Up Gear Box
.75
KIKKERLAND
This 'sparky' little wind-up critter may seem aimless, but take a closer look. The axle on this simple machine is bent to produce a complex pattern of motion. Can you predict where it will go? Also take a look at the wheel on the top of the machine. Two pieces of flint circle around a strike plate, producing brilliant sparks as Sparklz makes its way across a flat surface. Perfect for the study of simple machines, friction, and for prediction activities!
It takes about 13 full turns to wind this little guy all the way up.
The toy then runs around for about 7 or 8 seconds. While 7 or 8 seconds may not sound like much, this does need a lot of room to run. It moves very fast. It does not always travel in a straight line, but when it does, it moves about one foot per second.
