80X motor In this experiment set, we’ve used a special electric motor component; in this diagram you can see the internal structure of the component.

3

In the electric motor box, there are 4 sets of intermeshing gears: The speed ratio of gear A is 22:8.

The speed ratio of gear B is 22:8.

The speed ratio of gear C is 22:8.

The speed ratio of gear D is 32:8.

When the motor spins and the gears of A, B, C, and D send power to the X-axis, the total speed ratio is 83:1, meaning the motor spins at a rate of 8300RPM. With output going through the gearbox to the X-axis, the rotation speed will be reduced to 100RPM, an 83X decrease; however, torque will increase by 83X.

Infrared Sending and Receiving sun Infrared technology is critical in modern life and it is widely applied in many places, such as your television set at home, the air conditioner, the stereo, and various types of Electromagnetic waves remote controls. Infrared is an unseen wave of light that Invisible light Visible light Invisible light surrounds us but we cannot see it.

Infrared between 8~14 microns is the most effective on the human body, hence the name "Light of Life".

※As the controller’s transmiter and receiver use power even on standby mode, when you are not using the infrared remote control or when assembling the model, toggle the switch to the 0 position and turn the power off. If not used for an extended period, please remove the batteries from the transmiter and receiver.

Infrared Remote Control Instructions Channels 1–4 on the remote control are for adjustment. When playing with others, use different channels so as to not interfere with the control of each other's models.

When the remote control's channel has been adjusted, the motor must be adjusted to the same channel (as shown in diagram).

Understanding Robots Robots include any machinery that simulates life forms, whether they are humans, cats, dogs, or others. In the industrial world, manmade machines that automatically execute their tasks are also called robots and they are controlled by computer programs and used to work in the place of people.

We see robot-related themes in movies and novels. For instance, The Terminator, The Matrix, and other films describe a world where machines have taken the place of humans.

The term "robot" was coined in 1920 by Czechoslovakia writer Karel Capek in his novel Rossum's Universal Robots based on the word Robota (Czech origin, meaning "laborer, workers").

In 1939, New York's World Expo exhibited mankind's first robot, Elektro, a robot for the home. He could walk, talk, and even smoke but was not very good at doing housework. （diagram 1) In 1942, sci-fi novelist Isaac Asimov proposed the "Three

"Three Laws of Robotics"

Laws of Robotics" in a novel.

Although merely a part of his novel, these three laws later became the unspoken development principles in the sci(diagram 1) ence world.

Law 1: Robots cannot harm humans, and must ensure their safety.

Law 2: Robots must obey human commands as long as they do not break the first law.

Law 3: Robots must protect themselves as long as they do not break the first and second laws.

In 1954, American George Wald invented the first programmable computer (technically, it was a robotic arm that repeated functions such as "grab" and "grip"). This was a critical milestone in robotics development and greatly changed industrial technology.

5

The development of robots has never stopped and today we have robots that can do simple tasks.

It's undeniable that in the near future we will see robots that can fully mimic human functions.

But will robots be able to think?

This is another interesting question.

Understanding Gears In this modern industrial society, our lives are filled with gears. They are broadly applied for various uses and we come in contact with them every day in places such as the watch on your wrist, the alarm that wakes you up in the morning, the elevator that takes you up or down, and cars. They all utilize gears.

Mankind's history of using gears goes a long way back and although we do not know the original inventor, we can trace usage to 300 B.C. to the Greek philosopher Aristotle (B.C. 384–322) in his work Mechanical Issues, which described using bronze or metal to forge gears that transfer movement.

With technological developments, the materials used to forge gears are becoming sturdier and of all sizes for use in all kinds of places.

Standard gears are categorized Parallel axis: This includes spur gears, pin gears, herringbone gears, spiral gears, and rack gears.

Cross axis: Crown gears, straight bevel gears, and helical worm gears.

Staggered axis: These are axis that are flat and also cross, such as skew bevel gears, crossed helical gears, hypoid gears, worm and worm gears.

Crab Crabs mainly live in the sea but there are also some crabs that live in freshwater or on land. They have two gigantic claws and move very quickly. The structure of their leg joints allows them to move faster horizontally but there are some exceptions, such as crabs from the Raninidae family that walk forwards or backwards.

Crabs mainly eat seaweed but when food with more nutritional value such as dead fish and shrimp appear, they fight for it; however, they do not hunt aggressively. Crabs usually act in groups and interact through sounds or waving their claws.

Male crabs are highly aggressive, they will ďŹ ght with other male crabs for their mate and food.

Monkey Monkeys are different from apes. Although they are both primates, most people also think they are from the same species of animal. Primates are made up of 3 types of members; new world monkeys, old world monkeys, and apes. Monkeys account for 2 out of the 3 types and normally speaking, monkeys have smaller bodies while apes are larger. However, the biggest difference between the two is that monkeys have tails and apes don’t. Aside from gorillas in the ape family, all primates are very adept at climbing trees. As monkeys are small in size and have tails, they are even more agile when on trees.

Tyrannosaur We've all heard the names of the tyrannosaur, "king of the dinosaurs" and "T-rex". They lived at the end of the Cretaceous period, which was approximately 68 to 65 million years ago; they were one of the last species of dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period before the third extinction. They were over 12 metres tall and weighed about 6.8 tons. Their fossils are mainly found in North America around the United States and Western Canada.

Penguin Penguins are a type of bird. Although they cannot y, they are adept swimmers and divers (they can dive up to 55 metres deep for 22 minutes). As they mostly live in the frozen South Pole, their bodies have evolved to be able to swim. Scientists found that the functions of diving and ying cannot coexist as diving requires a larger body (to be able to sink) and smaller wings (to increase speed under water); these two types of evolution are the main reason that penguins cannot y.

Pterosaur The scientiďŹ c name of pterosaurs is Pterosauria which means "winged lizard" in Greek; they are the clade of ying reptiles.

Pterosaur existed from the late Triassic period to the end of the Cretaceous period, roughly 210 million to 65 million years ago and were the first dorsal vertebrae animals that had the ability to fly. It was discovered that pterosaur may have evolved feathers from markings on their body structure.

Pterosaur are often thought of as flying dinosaurs but that thinking is incorrect. Dinosaur refers to species that moved on land and could stand upright but this does not include pterosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and plesiosaurs.

Rabbit Furry rabbits are adorable and often loved by children. Aside from knowing that their eyes are red and they love to eat carrots, what else do you know about rabbits?

Many people think that rabbits don't drink water, but that is incorrect. Rabbits merely require less water than other animals because they have no sweat glands and do not sweat, but use their ears to dissipate heat. Rabbits have many micro blood vessels and nerves in their ears, so when you hold them, make sure to avoid their ears.

Elephant Children often see elephants when they visit the zoo. Elephants are tall and large, and are currently the world’s largest landbased mammals. Female elephants go through a pregnancy phase of 22 months before giving birth to baby elephants.

When they are born, baby elephants weigh 10kg and do not fully mature until they are 8–14 years of age. However, as elephants mature slowly, when the speed at which they disappear increases, they easily face extinction.

The ivory tusks of elephants are often made into precious items that can be sold for lots of money. Although elephants are listed as an endangered species, there are still many people in Africa who secretly hunt elephants.

Recent studies indicate that elephants have complex emotions and will cry when family members pass away.

Scorpion Scorpions are easily identified through their unique body structure of head, body, and tail; their tall tails contain a poison needle used to kill their prey. They have two large claws and the shape of their body is similar to a Chinese lute.

Scorpions love dark places and live in groups. They are not very active and are mostly nocturnal so they primarily stay in caves with their groups; they do not attack their own species (however, scorpions from different homes will attack each other if they meet). Scorpions are cold-blooded animals and although they can survive in temperatures below 0°C, they don't show much activity at around 10°C Celsius. Scorpions begin to hibernate in November and don't become active until April. They are active from 9pm at night to 3am in the morning and they are often seen in damp places; however, their homes must be dry.
