This outstanding model is a UGears look at the classic merry-go-roundimplemented in top-quality wood, the familiar and beloved fairground ride ispresented with highly-detailed design. Here you will find two types of carouselhorses that rock up and down as the model spins. The core of the model is acenter pole that rotates in a direction opposite to the main platform making itlook as if the carousel spins faster than it really does and creates thefascinating dynamics of the whole construction. The pole rises over the roofmaking it visually more delicate and at the same time giving it more volume. Addlittle birds soaring over the roof of the carousel along with decorative flyinglanterns and you may just sense the aroma of hot dogs and cotton candy!

As for the technical aspects, the UGears Carousel is based on the sameprinciple as most UGears self-propelled models: all parts of the puzzle arejoined without glue or additional tools and the motion energy is provided by arubber band motor. The Carousel has a wind-up key under its base that providestension to the rubber bands attached to the main axle. The pendulum gears downthe axle and makes the movement of the modules and details smoother. The mainaxle is connected to the central pole via the planetary gear that ensures thatit rotates in the direction opposite to the main platform. The roof is alsoattached to the main axle and crankshafts that make the horses go up and downwhile spinning around the central pole.

It is great fun to observe the model in motion, but if you are one of thosepeople who like to see with their hands, you can rotate the Carousel manually.This will allow you to examine every detail in slow motion and give you a fullcomprehension of how the mechanism works.
