Build your own simplified model of a 4-cylinder internal combustion/electric hybrid engine.

Through the fully functional engine model, illuminated components and a multi-function sound chip, it demonstrates the internal combustion, eco mode and electric only operations of a typical hybrid system. It's an ideal project for car enthusiasts who love building and exploring all things mechanical.

When finished, it provides a practical, educational aid to understand how a full-size hybrid system works. For children and adults, this kit will keep you entertained for hours!

This box contains all the parts and tools you need to assemble the model. It comes complete with a fully illustrated instruction manual, giving you clear step-by-step guidance through the build process. All you need to provide is the time and the three batteries to power the motor

This product is a STEM product.

TEACH KIDS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF A HYBRID ENGINE - Hybrid vehicles have been around since the early 1900s, but due to the historically cheap cost of fuel, they did not become widely popular until the mid to late 1990s. The word "hybrid" means "made up of two separate parts," and in the context of vehicles, it refers to a vehicle that is powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.

EDUCATIONAL FOR KIDS - This model is not meant to be a copy of any particular prototype engine but is designed to demonstrate the broad concepts of a hybrid engine. The hybrid module connected to the combustion engine doesn't 'work', but it uses fibre optic cables to show how electricity flows to the power supply when the combustion engine is running and charging, as well as how the battery surges when the engine is running on a combination of combustion and electricity or just electricity.

ENJOYABLE TO BUILD - The model is enjoyable to construct, and the kit includes all the tools you'll need as well as over 100 pieces to complete the operating model. It comes with its own simple, yet extensive, instruction manual featuring lots of easy-to-follow diagrams and illustrations. Each component is clearly identified and each step in the build sequence is shown in words & pictures. Finally, all 3 operating modes are domonstated: Normal/Eco/Electric.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE - Suitable for children above the age of ten. Adult supervision is advised.

Have you ever wondered how industrial robots work? You know, the kind of robots that work on assembly lines building other complex pieces of machinery? Now you can unlock the mystery behind these sophisticated robots by building one of your own! Exclusively from HEXBUG® comes the VEX® Robotics Robotic Arm - a completely functional construction kit inspired by real industrial robot arms.

This construction kit challenges you to not only Build Genius™ but also build a fully functional VEX® Robotic Arm at the same time. With four points of motion, you can use each control knob to pick up surrounding objects with the claw!

The Robotic Arm‚Ñ¢ can raise objects up to 14 inches by twisting the "left" hand knob forward and backward. It also extends out to 10 inches by twisting the "right" hand knob forward and backward. By turning the dial on the rear of the Arm will allow you to pick up many common household objects using the claw! The whole crane can rotate 360 degrees, allowing this miniature robot to perform the complex actions of its real-life counterpart.

HEXBUG® believes in using the fun of robotic toys to teach kids important STEM principles through hands-on learning. The VEX® Robotics Robotic Arm™ feature two alternate builds for more robotic fun! All Robotic Arm's™ construction pieces are compatible with educational VEX® IQ pieces to create your own custom VEX® robot and explore unlimited possibilities. VEX Robotics Robotic Arm is compliant with CPSIA standards. Ages 8+
