Learn Electricity Without Electricity

There are plenty of good videos available that teach the concepts of electricity. But did you know that you can also learn basic electrical concepts without electricity present. So says this video on the site The Engineering Mindset. A kit from Spintronics titled “Build Mechanical Circuits” enables users to build mechanical circuits using gears and a mechanical battery to illustrate the principles of electricity.  For instance, the gears ccan be linked in various combinations to illustrate the flow of voltage and current.

Clear, well-illustrated instructions show various electrical components guide the user through assembling various circuits to show concepts such as resistance.
