Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Book DescriptionWhat's really going on inside an animatronic How does a furry character turn its head at exactly the right moment What makes a dinosaur roar, a robot wave, or a creature seem to notice that you're standing there It isn't magic.It's engineering.In Animatronics: How Do They Work , young readers ages 7-12 get to peek beneath the fur, foam, and scales to discover the incredible machines hiding inside animatronic characters.Along the way, they'll discover: - Why animatronics need skeletons and joints- How motors, servos, pneumatics, and hydraulics act like mechanical muscles- How cams, gears, and linkages turn spinning motors into chomping jaws and waving arms- How sensors let a character see, hear, and react- How computers control exactly when and how everything moves- Why batteries, power, weight, and size create tricky engineering problems- How fur, foam, eyes, and faces transform a machine into a character- And the surprising secret that can make a machine actually feel aliveMeanwhile, Tinker has decided to build an animatronic of his own.Meet SCRAPS.At first, SCRAPS is nothing more than a box of parts.Then he gets a skeleton.Mechanical muscles.A chomping jaw.Sensors.A controller.Power.Fur.And approximately 17 knees.Wait.Seventeen knees UH-OH.As SCRAPS slowly comes to life, readers won't just learn the names of animatronic parts. They'll learn to think like engineers: asking questions, solving problems, making tradeoffs, figuring out what went wrong, and trying again.Packed with fascinating science, ridiculous mechanical disasters, Tinker Facts, and plenty of CLUNKS, Animatronics: How Do They Work turns engineering into an adventure.Perfect for curious kids who love robots, theme parks, engineering, machines, STEM, movie creatures, and figuring out how things work.Because once you know what's hiding inside an animatronic.there's really only one question left: Could YOU build one Book 2 in the C.J. Tinker Animatronics Series.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever watched an animatronic move, talk, or suddenly come to life and wondered: How did they DO that Animatronics are everywhere-from theme parks and movies to restaurants, museums, Halloween displays, and even our own backyards. But today's incredible moving characters have a history that goes back much further than you might think.In Animatronics: How They Came to Life, curious young readers will travel through the fascinating history of machines designed to imitate life. Discover early mechanical creations, see how animatronics changed as technology improved, and explore the inventions that eventually gave us the amazingly lifelike characters we see today.Along the way, you'll discover: - Where the idea of animatronics came from- Some of the coolest and strangest creations from animatronic history- How gears, motors, pneumatics, electronics, and computers changed what animatronics could do- How animatronics became part of theme parks, movies, restaurants, and entertainment- Fun facts and surprising stories from the world of moving machines- How today's animatronics are becoming more advanced than everYou don't need to know anything about engineering to get started. If you love robots, machines, theme parks, movie creatures, Halloween props-or simply figuring out how cool things work-this book is for you.Welcome to the world of animatronics. It's time to discover how they came to life.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if you could build your own animatronic character-with cardboard, string, rubber bands, and a few simple parts In Animatronics: Build Your First Moving Creation, kids become the engineers.Join Tinker and SCRAPS for a hands-on adventure that turns ordinary craft supplies into machines that move. Young makers will experiment with pivots, linkages, levers, controls, and other real mechanical ideas as they design, build, test, and improve their own moving creations.Along the way, kids will: - Build simple mechanisms using cardboard and everyday materials- Experiment with motion using pivots, strings, rubber bands, levers, and linkages- Create moving faces and bodies with their own personalities- Learn why prototypes matter before jumping into a final build- Design their own animatronic character instead of simply copying one- Test, troubleshoot, and improve their creations like real engineersThere are no complicated electronics or expensive robotics kits required. The focus is on understanding how movement works and discovering how much you can create with simple materials, clever mechanisms, and a little imagination.And when something doesn't work the first time Perfect.That's when the tinkering begins.Packed with colorful explanations, experiments, challenges, and step-by-step builds, Book 3 of the C.J. Tinker Animatronics Series takes kids from wondering How do animatronics work to saying: I BUILT THAT. AND IT MOVES!Perfect for curious kids ages 7-12 who love animatronics, robots, engineering, inventions, STEM projects, theme parks, making things, or figuring out how stuff works.…

Zustand: New. Blends of natural rubber with speciality synthetic rubbers, such as nitrile rubber and ethylene propylene rubbers, have often failed to combine the best properties of polymers, resulting in a poor return in terms of added value from the blending process. This book provides information for those working in the area of rubber technology. Num Pages: 256 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TDCP; TDCR.
