HOW a WIND-UP TOY works!

Have you ever wondered how a wind-up toy works?
Learn how this wind-up toy robot works from Adam Borton, a world-renowned expert in toys and games and founder of the Toy and Game School - toyandgameschool.com. @toyandgameschool on Instagram.
STEP 1 - Wind up the toy!
STEP 2 - See how the wind-up toy moves! Which parts or features are being powered by the wind-up mechanism?
STEP 3 - How can you take the wind-up toy apart? Are there screws in the toy or is the toy glued together? Be careful! Taking toys apart can be dangerous and requires adult supervision and safety gear!
STEP 4 - Start disassembling parts of the toy! Make notes of which part goes where just in case you can re-assemble it!
STEP 5 - Slowly take the wind-up toy apart - if you do it in stages, you can see how the different mechanisms work together!
STEP 6 - When you have fully taken the wind-up toy apart, see if you can put it back together again! If parts were glued and you had to break them, putting the wind-up toy back together again might take much longer and may not be possible!

Great job explaining the workings of this simple windup toy robot. thank you for sharing with us all.

[@toyandgameschool]

No problem, I'm glad you liked it 😀

[@JohnnyGearBot]

They really need to reinvent these toys because I really love windup⚙️toys

[@KimvyKinsley]

Great Video! Hope the channel relauches soon.

Thanks for posting

[@oriona8648]

That’s a really cool and simple explanation for how wind up toys work.

[@toyandgameschool]

Thanks, hopefully it helps people to understand how a common toy mechanism works - they are often simple but very clever because of cost restrictions!

[@dguy0386]

i had that same wind up robot as a kid, man, i haven't seen him in years!

[@M3lonplush]

Was he a hero?

[@squid_cake]

Thank you for teaching me!! I'm watching this because I'd love to make my own Mario Vs. Donkey Kong Mini Mario wind up toy one day. Official plushies were released for the game, but only having a real wind-up toy would satisfy me. I always thought handmade crafts were super interesting on their own, but ones that use mechanical parts to move around on their own are even more exciting!!

We had to use this for a school project. Amazing :D

[@toyandgameschool]

Awesome! What was the project?

[@toyandgameschool]

@@alessandronucci3470 Yeah mechanisms are really interesting!

1:30 bro ran from his friend.

[@yoseph6456]

Is it possible to have it converted to electrical power by having an additional motor attached to turn it?

[@supersmarsh11]

bro i had the same ass idea

[@nileshbagada4999]

Great

[@toyandgameschool]

Thanks Nilesh!

[@drakozero8]

I'm trying to figure out how to make a windup toy electric motorized.

[@deadbeat7403]

I wanna see how one with a key in the back works now lol

[@xXrimjobXx]

This helped teach me something for what I am trying to design. This was an informative yet succinct video to get the ideas flowing. Thanks! Great video.

[@kevinwilsondesigns]

Hi. I’m looking for a wind up mechanism that has an external time release. I’m designing a toy.
For example: The mechanism holds a ball from rolling by a simple “arm” then you wind up the gear box and then the arm is retracted or moved out of the way which allows the ball to pass. I hope that made sense? Is there such thing? If you could help that would be great? thank you. 👍

[@toyandgameschool]

Yes that's entirely possible but too detailed to explain in a comment - after the course launches, sign up to learn how to design toy mechanisms from idea to 3D model to 3D print

[@wencailan1324]

how can i find Upper chain gear box same like in video with toy legs

[@audreyflorence3717]

I don’t know if it’s just me and I don’t know why but I hate these toys I swear I would get so scared when I saw them and one time I saw the building that made these toys and freaked out😂

[@crazy_ahahac5998]

Нам в вузе дали задание посмотреть этот видос и ответить на кучу вопросов по нему в качестве домашнего задания... Правда я до сих пор не понимаю, зачем нам в техническом вузе столько английского
