The chain reaction is a widespread natural phenomenon that can be observed both physically and chemically. While the playful character is also described with the domino effect, the actual reaction is a chain of reactions. These can run at a constant time or at irregular time intervals. The new marble chain track model kit from UGEARS® pays homage to this reaction principle.
In a fascinating way, 400 individual wooden components can be interlocked in such a way that a marvel of technology is created. The rolling marbles move on a ball track, which with the help of a chain hoist transports each individual marble to unimagined heights. Once set in motion, the reaction sequence can be precisely followed. As with all UGEARS® models, the openwork retrofuturistic design is primarily responsible for this. Game, fun and learning is therefore the motto here too. The highlight, however, is that this chain track can be connected to other marble chain tracks. In this context, a chain can be expanded infinitely and advertises this natural mechanism par excellence.
