Q1. How is the Ugears Counter Mechanical Model different from other puzzle sets?

Sometime between 10 to 70 AD, Hero of Alexandria invented the integral part of the odometer, the counter. The Ugears Counter Mechanical Model will take you through its functioning thoroughly by implementing the Augmented Reality (AR) experience provided by the Ugears app. Additionally, the new Ugears feature of Pocket Model’s Study Guide will also engage you in interesting tasks while taking you through its creation story. Use this stylish, unique and educational counter to count the number of cabs that passed you or the number of times someone said a curse word! We hope you would not require more than 999 for it.

Q2. What is the principle behind its working?

The Counter is a creative educational model which registers repetitive actions. The model has three cylinder gears with numbers marked from 0 to 9 and a Geneva Drive. These together provide an interesting mechanical feature for you as you see the reciprocating motion of the click-button by using the Geneva Drive mechanism turns into the rotary motion of the cylinder gears with numbers. There are two ways of data registering available in the Counter – the click-button on the roof of its body, and a turn handle on its side. The Counter shifts by one place when the click-button is clicked or the handle is turned. On the count passing 9, the Geneva Drive gets a hold of the next register cylinder and adds it to the count. Holistically, the Counter’s three-digit display can register values from 1 to 999. The Counter can be reset manually by opening the front panel of it.
