Working Principle / Science Behind the Magic Illusion STEM Kit
- Gradual change is a phenomenon with strong regularity that creates a sense of perspective and space in visual design through orderly and rhythmic movement.
- The Magic Window STEM Kit works using a combination of electronic and mechanical components, including a battery, switch, motor, multiple gears, and wooden plates.
- The motor transfers power through a three-stage gear system, which reduces speed while increasing torque for smooth operation.
- The double-crown gear mechanism creates reverse relative movement between the front and rear patterned plates, producing the unique changing visual illusion effect.
- This combination of mechanical motion and visual design helps demonstrate concepts like gear transmission, motion conversion, and optical illusion effects in an interactive way.
