This Idea book is filled with simple machines that operate manually by use of cranks, chains, gears, rubber bands, etc. Requiring creativity and intuition, this book does not show a step-by-step instruction for the building process. Rather, each project lists the pieces required and 3 or more images of how to operate the finished project. Many builds also include inspiration on how to modify the finished project if desired. The back of the book includes a complete parts list for all pieces featured in the book. The book is separated into categories by machine type.

LEGO Technic Idea Book: Non-Electric Models
Description
This book in the LEGO Technic Non-Electric Models series features 141 motor-free devices for you to build and operate. Each project includes full-color photographs from multiple angles and illustrated Technic parts to help you follow along. The models range from basic mechanisms that showcase the power of gears and rotation to moving vehicles that demonstrate linear, oscillating, rotary, and reciprocating motion.
The Technic models in Simple Machines require no electric elements or sensors. Instead, they operate with cranks, chains, cams, rack-and-pinion gears, rubber bands, weights, and flywheels. As you explore these projects and develop your building skills, you’ll be inspired to create your own mechanical marvels.
If you're looking for construction inspiration, your search is over! These LEGO® Building Idea Books offer ideas and building instructions for projects using collections of your existing LEGO® bricks. Many of the builds in these books can also be completed using bricks found in specific LEGO® Classic sets. These sets are specified in each book's product description.
