The movement of the Mechanics models wins over gravity with the Gravity Shoot & Catch set. Thanks to the magnetic motor, the Geomag spheres move up along a never-ending spiral and reach a circuit of amazing magnetic tricks.
Here is the "Stop&Go" trick in action: two magnetic rods, positioned with opposite polarities, can keep one or two spheres perfectly still inside a chute. When a third sphere joins the other two from above, it is itself trapped by the magnet and the lowest positioned sphere is released to continue its journey along the circuit. This Gravity set contains 11 magnetic rods, 36 steel spheres and 196 plastic mechanical elements.
Mechanics is the construction platform that combines the forces of magnetism with a world of mechanical construction, to stimulate creativity, inventiveness and ingenuity. In addition to the classic magnetic rods and steel spheres, Geomag Mechanics adds mechanical elements within the constructions, expanding the play possibilities: some parts of the structures are able to rotate, triggering chain reactions from the magnetic attraction and repulsion.
