Designed for older kids, teens, and adults, this project blends hands-on building with practical physics as you piece together a mechanical desktop orrery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilders assemble 316 precut wooden pieces, securing steel shafts, gears, and eight painted wooden planets using the included tools and hardware. Once built, turning the hand crank engages an internal gear system and electric generator that turns on an LED light in the sun while sending the planets orbiting at their correct relative speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands-On Challenge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takes an average of 10 hours to assemble using step-by-step illustrated instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Set:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes 7 wood sheets with 316 precut pieces, 8 painted wooden planets, 11 steel shafts, fasteners, electric generator, LED light, screwdriver, sandpaper, and wax.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a hidden gear assembly in the base that drives planetary rotation via hand crank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembled model stands 14 inches tall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ages 12 and up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MindWare \u0026 Peaceable Kingdom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54147513942321,"sku":"14148270","price":70.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/8750\/0081\/files\/Gearjits_Solar_System_1.webp?v=1789642683","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwondertoys.sbs\/products\/gearjits-solar-system","provider":"Whimsy and Wonder Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
