Master builder and LEGO luminary Yoshihito Isogawa helps you build more than 100 creative, non-electric models with LEGO Technic parts. Part of a two-volume set.

This book in the LEGO Technic Non-Electric Models series features 106 motor-free mechanisms 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 practical tools for lifting, gripping, shooting, and measuring to working gadgets that demonstrate principles of mechanical engineering.

The Technic models in Clever Contraptions require no electric elements or sensors. Instead, you'll use cranks, winches, doors, and rotators to operate devices including wind turbines, spinning tops, grabbing tools, and a spirograph. The clever kinetic ideas at play will inspire you to create your own mechanicals marvels.

This Technic guide is part of a series, and the brainchild of master builder Yoshihito Isogawa. Each book in the series is filled with vibrant photos of Isogawa's unique non-electric models, which will fire up the imaginations of LEGO builders of all ages.

Imagine. Create. Invent. Now, what will you build?

Reviews for Lego Technic Non Electric Models: Clever Creations

Praise for The LEGO Technic Idea Book series I can emphatically state that no self-respecting LEGO fan should exclude this series from their library. -Bricks in my Pocket These are an invaluable set of books to have as a reference to build mechanisms. -BrickJournal These are excellent books showing a lot of great ideas for LEGO mechanisms. Even if you're an experienced builder, there are surely some ideas in here you've never seen. -Brickpile For those new to Technic building, the Simple Machines book is indispensable. -The NXT STEP Blog These books look fantastic. -Boing Boing For anyone who loves Lego, prototypes in Lego, or loves mechanical assemblies, these books are definitely required viewing, and we're not sure how we lived without them for so long. -Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories My whole family thoroughly enjoyed the books. If you're a Lego fanatic, you'll love them too. -The Father Life What I like about these cool little models is that they can be used to teach various science concepts such as gearing, Newton's Laws, and Potential & Kinetic energy-to name a few. -The Robotic Realm Because the models range from practical tools for lifting, gripping, shooting, and measuring, to working gadgets, the immediate use of each tool was what enhanced our interest the most. The fact that they also demonstrate principles of mechanical engineering added to the fun. -Mariana Ruiz, GeekDad
