The LEGO® Technic Idea Book

The LEGO Technic Idea Book: Simple Machines is a collection of hundreds of working examples of simple yet fascinating Technic models that you can build based on their pictures alone. Colors distinguish each part, showing you how the models are assembled. Each photo illustrates a different principle, concept, or mechanism that will inspire your own original creations.

The Technic models in Simple Machines demonstrate basic configurations of gears, shafts, pulleys, turnables, connectors, and the like. You´ll learn how to create small, elegant machines like cranes, operable doors, motorized cars, a rubber band-powered rocket launcher, a hand-cranked drag racer, and even musical instruments.

The visual guide, the first in the three-volume LEGO Technic Idea Book series, is the brainchild of master builder Yoshihito Isogawa of Tokyo, Japan. Each title is filled with photos of Isogawa´s unique models, all of which are designed to fire the imaginations of LEGO builders young and old.

Image. Create. Invent. Now, what will you build?
