Ugears Steampunk Submarine

Ugears Steampunk Submarine – rubber-band-powered wooden submarine, 1:48

A submarine that sails across the floor! The Steampunk Submarine in 1:48 scale is powered by a rubber band motor and travels approx. 2.5 metres on each wind-up. Set the switch to stop, give the ratchet knob at the back up to fifteen half turns, switch over to start – and off it goes. A gear system drives two propellers that spin during the run, and with the front wheel you decide the direction: slightly left or right for a turn, or all the way round in a circle. Movable fins complete the impression of steering under water.

The model needs neither batteries nor electronics. The parts are pressed out of the boards and assembled without glue or special tools, following the illustrated instructions. Take a little extra care with the pendulum, the start/stop system and the ratchet key during assembly, and sand and wax the gears so the mechanism runs smoothly – sandpaper and wax are included.
