It doesn't invent the catapult but enhances it-using a drum and leaf-spring mechanism instead of traditional tension methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit replaces da Vinci's ropes and springs with safer rubber bands wrapped around a drum, storing tension. Turning the drum and releasing a lever triggers the arm to fling stone-like payloads-perfectly showcasing tension mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly is completely snap-together-no glue, paint, or batteries required. Following clear instructions, complex uses of pulleys, rods, and crank systems are easily constructed by beginners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough basic enough for younger users, it's rich in educational content-demonstrating conversion of rotary motion into reciprocating energy. That makes it ideal for students and hobbyists interested in STEM and engineering concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finished model is fully functional, launching miniature \"stones\" safely. It's designed for display in classrooms, living rooms, or offices-offering both conversation and tangible mechanical insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- A flying machine of Leonardo da Vinci inspired by birds\u003cbr\u003e- You can move the wings using the conversion of rotary motion into reciprocating mo­tion\u003cbr\u003e- Wind up to store power and pull the lever to watch it go\u003cbr\u003e- Snap together assembly of textured parts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block=\"specifications\" data-scroll-amount=\"100\" data-scroll-top=\"true\" data-trigger-css=\"d-xl-none\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;margin-top:24px;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:14px;margin-top:8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;background:#f8f8f8;width:35%;font-weight:600;text-align:left;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;\"\u003eAcademy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;background:#f8f8f8;width:35%;font-weight:600;text-align:left;\"\u003eMPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;\"\u003e18137\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;background:#f8f8f8;width:35%;font-weight:600;text-align:left;\"\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;\"\u003eSnap-together\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;background:#f8f8f8;width:35%;font-weight:600;text-align:left;\"\u003ePaint needed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;background:#f8f8f8;width:35%;font-weight:600;text-align:left;\"\u003eBattery required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;background:#f8f8f8;width:35%;font-weight:600;text-align:left;\"\u003ePower source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:9px 14px;\"\u003eRubber bands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67146644127789,"sku":"ACADEMY 9-18137","price":35.27,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/5088\/2861\/files\/MDLADY0918137.jpg?v=1785105844","url":"https:\/\/kwtech.co.nz\/products\/academy-educational-davinci-catapult","provider":"KW Tech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
