Independent research and development of science popularization exhibits

In order to better display the popular science exhibits that meet the needs of the audience, the R & D Department of our museum developed a series of "cartoon machinery" popular science exhibits in 2009. Through three vivid and interesting cartoon characters (cartoon tiger, cartoon clown, cartoon Winnie) making different actions, it vividly shows the audience the mechanical structures of gear drive, pulley rotation, cam drive, intermittent reciprocating motion and so on The application principle of construction. This set of exhibits is very popular with the audience.
