This first volume of The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book Machines and Mechanisms showcases
small projects to build with LEGO Technic gears motors gadgets and other moving elements.
You'll find hundreds of clever buildable mechanisms each one demonstrating a key building
technique or mechanical principle. You'll learn to build sliding doors grasping claws
rack-and-pinion mechanisms and ball-shooting devices of every sort! Each model includes a
list of required parts and colorful photographs that guide you through the build without the
need for step-by-step instructions. As you build you'll explore the principles of simple
machines gear systems power translation and more.
