UGears – Mechanical Horse

Description

Ugears — Mechanical Horse

Travel back to the middle ages with this striking wooden automaton: a bionic, walking horse you build yourself. The Mechanical Horse is an elegant engineering model that uses 410 laser‑cut, colour‑coded plywood parts (no glue or special tools) to produce a realistic quadruped gait driven by rubber‑band power, gears, cranks and a pendulum regulator. As you assemble the mechanism (8–9 hours typical), you’ll see how the joint geometry and transmission deliver stable, lifelike leg motion; once wound the horse walks short distances, its head nods and its rubber mane sways—an entrancing blend of natural movement and mechanical design ideal for display or hands‑on study.

Key details:

• Parts: 410 laser‑cut wooden pieces, colour‑coded
• Assembly: ~8–9 hours; no glue or special tools required
• Mechanism: rubber‑band motor, gear train, cranks and pendulum regulator for extended, stable walking
• Finished size (approx.): 35 × 29 × 12.5 cm (L × H × W)
• Includes multilingual illustrated instructions (11 languages)

A masterful, tactile project for builders who love mechanics, automata and decorative kinetic art.
