Mechanics - Floating Dragon
SKU: 61523
When you attach the chains that hold the dragon in place, you will see the action of tension and how it creates structural integrity, making it seem that the dragon is hanging in mid-air.
The principle of tensegrity is a fundamental part of constructing the model and children are spurred to develop concepts and verify ideas in order to achieve jaw-dropping results.
By putting together the various parts, children can check what scenarios can be made with their constructions, breathing life into their ideas and shaping concepts with their own hands.
A fantastic world and children's beloved dragon have been created in a model game to be built while discovering a new principle of construction that is all over the web: tensegrity.
By following the detailed instructions in the manual and downloadable APP, you will experience and understand that optical effects are based on scientific principles.
Conceived, designed and developed in Italy.
