Product details

Explore what lies beneath the hood of your car. In about three hours, build a fully functional and decorative model of a 4-cylinder engine, allowing you and your family to enjoy the wonders of technology. The complete package includes over 100 components and a richly illustrated manual that leaves no questions unanswered about internal combustion engines and their applications. Construct a detailed transparent engine model, where all parts move just like in the real thing. The components can be easily snapped together and screwed – no glue required. Discover the individual parts of the engine and their functions. With the transparent casing, you can follow the movement of the pistons in your model's cylinders. You'll see how the crankshaft, camshaft, and valves operate, and you can even set the ignition timing yourself.

The kit works without gluing or soldering. The clear casing allows you to see all the processes in your 4-cylinder engine: the pistons rise and fall just like in the real engine, and even the spark is simulated. More than 100 components, an electric drive motor, a starter box, an ignition distributor, and much more. It has never been easier to build a realistic engine model. Just insert two 1.5-volt batteries (type AA), and you're ready to go. The manual "Technical Knowledge Amazingly Different" offers plenty of entertainment and information. Finally, technical connections become clear. Show that there's an engineer in you and get started: with the detailed step-by-step instructions, you'll easily build your transparent 4-cylinder engine, which will become a centerpiece in your workshop or living room. Basic knowledge, the history of the development of the internal combustion engine, tips, and tricks for your model.
