About this product
The tugboat is driven by a rubber band motor, the power comes from the tension of a rubber band connected to a bearing. A reduction gear transfers the energy to the drive wheel and then to the asymmetric wheel set. The pendulum slows down and smoothes the movement of the tugboat.
The asymmetry of the wheel set gives the model a unique movement that imitates the way a boat sways in the waves, while the working pendulum makes a special noise similar to the noise made by the real-life diesel engines that many boats are equipped with.
The winding key on the drive wheel is blocked by a ratchet. There are two control levers, one of which stops the device and the other starts it - corresponding to the stop lever and the start lever respectively.
Use two ropes with hooks to hang and transport small cargo - wheeled models or paper boats. Your tugboat will run from 1.5 to 3 meters depending on the surface type.
