LEGO Technic Idea Book: Simple Machines
Projects with LEGO bricks can be complex, but throw in LEGO Technic parts, and you have real engineering going on. These books are authored by Yoshihito Isogawa, a graduate of the Faculty of Engineering at the Tokyo University of Science. Other than a Table of Contents and a brief introduction, the books are wordless, relying on clear, colorful pictures to progressively show the construction of a project. Where larger parts are depicted, the relative size of the photo is indicated as a scaled ratio. Often the same part comes in a variety of colors; colors chosen for the photos are for artistic effect and contrast between parts. Simple Machines demonstrates basic configurations of gears, shafts, pulleys, turntables, and connectors that become cranes, operable doors, cars, rocket launchers and musical instruments. Although hundreds of models are shown in each book, the goal is to fire the imaginations of LEGO builders young and old. Each book is approximately 160 pages. ~ Bob
Offering hundreds of ideas and examples for building mechanisms with TECHNIC, this volume focuses on gears and power transmission. The book is color throughout, with little to no text accompanying its diagrams
