Stickmen’s Guide to How Things Work: Discover how planes, trains, automobiles and other great machines work
Join the savvy, accident prone Stickmen on a journey of discovery of how things work. From gigantic machines to submarines and aircraft carriers. How helicopters hover and high-speed trains stay on the line using powerful magnets. View inner and outer workings and discover what makes these amazing machines special. Find out about…
- how rip-roaring roller-coasters stay on the tracks
- the airplane that flew round the world, powered just by the sun
- why hovercrafts need giant fans to keep afloat
- why one of the largest machines in the world has to be buried underground
- … and much more.
Clear, cut-away illustrations and diagrams reveal mechanisms at work, with the Stickmen always on hand to share facts (and jokes), explain functions – and even help to load baggage onto a plane!
