OPEN FOR PRE-ORDER
STEM LAB Random Generator
The mechanical Random Number Generator, as you might have guessed from its name, is a device that generates random numbers and provides different random results based on probability theory. How it does this is exactly what the Ugears STEM model will demonstrate.
The main element of the Random Generator’s design is a cube with an octahedron inside it that in its turn contains a metal ball to provide weight. This construction is powered by a rack-and-gear drive initiated manually and providing energy through a driven gear that rotates a three-axle gear. This is how the cube with all its contents begins to move, which is important for summoning the magic of randomness.
Of course, we can only call it magic until we know the science of it. And to learn it, let us take a closer look at the main structure.
OPEN FOR PRE-ORDER
STEM LAB Variator
The Variator is a device that transfers and adjusts the engine torque by changing the ratio of gears. Gear ratio can change automatically, manually or within a pre-set program. The term most drivers and automobile enthusiasts are more accustomed with is Continuously Variable Transmission, or CVT.
With the Ugears Variator model of the STEM lab collection you can learn and comprehend one of the most important parts of a car without soiling your hands in machine oil!
The model kit comes with a QR-code that will forward you to the learning guide about the mechanism, the principal of its working, the main characteristics, formulas, and interesting assignments.

This mechanical bank is designed as a vintage cash register to keep your finances safe. Just like its real-life thing, the model has coin and notes boxes. And for extra protection, this cash register comes with a code lock. Update your code however you like using the code mechanism!
The cash bank accepts most coin sizes circulating in the world. It also comes equipped with a counter and an automatic coin detector. The operation modes switch depending on whether there is a coin in a coin slot or not.
If you need to put a coin in the cashbox, put it in a slot, lift-lower the lever, and see it disappear inside the box.
When it comes to storing notes, this Cash Register provides an automatic bill acceptor. Wind up the rubber-band motor by pulling the lever up and down several times.
Inspired by classic scientific documentaries and biographies of outstanding marine explorers, the Research Vessel is a beautiful model of large modern icebreakers.
The model is equipped with a swing jib crane to manage cargo and hoist out the bathyscaphe. Use the crane to pull the bathyscaphe out of the depths and secure it on a special extension platform.
The model has three movement modes – forward, turn, and automatic maneuvering. The modes are controlled with a lever you can switch manually.
Motorcycle Scrambler
UGR-10 with Sidecar
Hit the road with your new adventure companion – the fast and enduring Scrambler UGR-10 Motor Bike with sidecar!
The Scrambler is based on a dual-sport motorcycle prototype, a vehicle designed to travel both slick asphalt highways and heavy-going roads or go full Dirty Tracker mode.
Original dual-sport bikes come from a family of so-called “scramblers” – lightweight city motorcycles initially produced by Triumph and BSA back in the 50s of the 20th century.
Know of anyone looking to try Ugears for the first time? Tell them about the Mini Buggy! Only 80 parts and twenty minutes later this buggy will be ready to hit the road!
While the front wheels make your Buggy maneuverable, the back, driving, wheels also provide stability. The rear wheels are larger and have rubber-band tires that ensure better surface traction and a smoother ride.
Looking for another STEM challenge for your kids? You got it! The Curvimeter (or opisometer) is a device that measures the length of curved lines and helps to calculate the distance between the points on a map more precisely than a ruler or a compass.
This tool is commonly used by map-makers, tourists, and road services. Your model would also make an incredible conversational topic.
And with the help of the Augmented Reality app, you will be able to see firsthand how the curvimeter is used and even interact with it!
While many of us cannot wait for this year to end, keep in mind that before that happens, we have a holiday season to get ready for! And can you think of a better stocking stuffer?
The Nativity Scene model is not big - only 6 x 5, but it only takes an hour to assemble and it is simple enough for anyone to put together.
Being a fine piece of a traditional Christmas decor, the model nevertheless has a basic gear mechanism that animates certain elements of the set. To start the mechanism, manually rotate any of the interconnected gears that you will see on the sides and on the top of the model. This will make the star on the roof of the barn move while at the same time rotating the gears with carved designs and animating the background of the scene.
