STEM Mechanics, Levers and Linkages kit

Archimedes once said: "Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth", providing a very interesting example of how levers multiply force. How true is his saying? Levers are possibly the first tools used by mankind for moving large objects and have been used ever since in a variety of modern applications.

When levers combine together they form a linkage. As simple as they may look, the capabilities of lingages were not fully exploited until the 19th century! During the time of the Industrial Revolution, an amazing booming of mechanics took place and linkages were one of the most valuable components of almost every machine. So enter the fascinating world of Levers & Linkages and explore the magic of STEM!
