With a simple press of the power button, prepare to be amazed. The cooling fan spins, pistons fire up and down, light bulbs flick on and off in perfect sequence mimicking the air-fuel combustion process.
In addition to the mechanical skills acquired through building, this engine also includes a detailed introduction in the instruction manual. By reading, children will recognize the difference between an electric motor vs. the powerful V8, and learn about different types of combustion engines. Lastly, the introduction delves into the four stroke cycle through a visual representation of the four steps (Intake, Compression, Power, and Exhaust). Once children build the kit, and read the introduction they will have a full grasp of the science, engineering, and physics that go into this automotive cornerstone.
