The UGEARS Mechanical Addiator is a DIY wooden model kit
UGEARS’ Arithmetic Kit consists of two ready - to - assemble models: A Mechanical Addiator and a Mechanical Multiplier
The model kit comes with a QR - code to the study guide about the mechanisms, the principal of their working, the main characteristics, formulas
Dive into augmented reality and look at how Mechanical Addiator and Mechanical Multiplier work
Interact with the models via a special AR application from Ugears
The Mechanical Addiator is a compact arithmetic machine (or adding machine) that works by moving gear racks, using a stylus included in the kit
Wooden details pre - cut with a precise high - tech laser in high - quality plywood boards, as well as other materials required for assembly
DIY kits need no glue or additional instruments to build
The details come out of the board with a slight push
The Mechanical Addiator consists of: Housing, Rack, Stylus
The Mechanical Multiplier consists of: Sliders, Lever system, Results window, Value field
Model Approximate dimensions: 215mm x 110mm x 23mm(L x W x H)
Features:
Recommended for ages 8+ years
By moving the sliding racks, marked with arrows and numbers from 0 to 9, you can add and subtract numbers
The Mechanical Addiator consists of a housing in which four rails or racks are set, with printed values on them
To do this, the user enters a number value using the stylus, then uses the stylus to enter a second number
The device then shows the result of the desired mathematical operation, according to where the second number was entered (top row for addition, bottom row for subtraction)
But the Addiator is not limited to addition and subtraction—you can also use it to multiply and divide
The Mechanical Multiplier is a flat hinge mechanism that accomplishes binary operations on numbers
A Toy ingeniously uses a hinged mechanism to perform simple multiplication, designed “to stimulate children’s interest in the study of numbers.”
The Mechanical Multiplier consists of two sliders which move along a number line (1 - 12), and a lever system which transfers the movement of the sliders to a “Results” window, which moves along a value field
As you move the two sliders between different number values, the product of their multiplication will appear in the “Results” window
In order to multiply a number by itself (to square it), the right slider should be moved to the extreme right position and fixed at the “X²” symbol
Its simple design and compact size made it a popular mathematical tool in its time
Today this simple, fun mechanism is part of UGEARS’ outstanding STEM Lab collection
Ugears STEM puzzles are designed to suit different age groups with a special focus on learning component
The assembly of the model will be interesting and won’t take much time
