Tamiya 70222 Friction Power Unit STEM Module  [70222]

Tamiya 70222 Friction Power Unit for Hands-On Learning

The Tamiya 70222 Friction Power Unit is a practical component for makers and educators who want to add mechanical motion to lessons or hobby models. It provides a simple, tactile way to explore energy storage and movement through building and testing.

Flywheel Action and Visible Mechanics

This unit revolves around a flywheel that stores kinetic energy as the drive wheel is spun. That energy is routed via a shaft to crank wheels, showing clear examples of energy conversion and mechanical storage. The clear ABS housing makes it easy to watch the gear train and moving parts at work.

How It Links With Your Kits

Built for use with Tamiya Educational Construction Series components, the friction power unit attaches to universal plates, beams, wheels, tracks and other kit parts. Using the included crank wheels or optional rear wheels such as the Slim Tire Set (Item 70193) lets you turn the unit into a running model for demos or classroom experiments.

Practical Classroom and Workshop Uses

As a teaching aid, this friction power unit helps demonstrate motion, force and energy transfer in a hands-on format. Its straightforward assembly and visible operation make abstract principles easier to grasp for students and hobbyists alike.
