- The Tower Windmill from UGears is more than a mechanical puzzle
- It is an exciting adventure into the history of old England
- The model is based on the Chesterton Windmill, a 17th-century cylindrical stone tower windmill that was built outside the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire county
- Built around 1632-33, the Windmill was restored between 1965 and 1974 and today it is the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts
- This unique construction with an arched base was presumably built by a prominent figure of the period, Sir Edward Peyto that owned Chesterton Manor at that time
- The model designed in “Victorian steam-punk skeleton” style is based on a prototype from Chesterton
- When spinning rapidly the aerodynamic twist sails create fairly strong wind, It also can work the other way around: blowing air directed at the sails will make them spin, Use a fan to demonstrate to your kids how real windmills operate
- The model is powered by a removable rubber band motor, Once the motor is removed, the Windmill can work in a manual mode that allows you to observe and examine the fascinating complex mechanism in detail
- A double planetary gear reducer with differently shaped gears provides the necessary speed
- Resembling a spiral staircase, the rotating base of the arched tower is a part of the screw conveyor mechanism that is a chief part of the model's mechanism
- The rubber band motor drives the sails by means of a screw conveyor (worm feeder) and gear transmission
- Fascinating mechanics of the moving gears will captivate your attention for a long time
- Origin from the English prototype, the Ugears model also addresses the Spanish classic: the Tower Windmill comes with the figures of the Ingenious Nobleman Don Quixote and his quirky companion Sancho Panza
