The Brass Solar System Eight Planet Metal Assembled Model
This shows the orrery with the sun and planets lined up. When the motor is activated, the planets orbit the sun at an increased pace while maintaining their proportional speeds and relative position to each other.
Features
Few things are as captivating as an orrery. First, the craftsmanship required to build this remarkable mechanical model is of the highest order. And like a globe, an orrery also serves a practical function. It shows you the relative positions of the planets in the solar system during a given year and month,Mercury, Venus (Venus will rotate retrograde), Earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. all revolve around the sun at different speeds according to specific physical laws.
Design and build custom brass orreries from scratch. 200PCS+ and assembling time is about 20 hours. The base of the orrery is 34cm in diameter. The height of the orrery is approximately 18 cm. The center of Pluto will span to approximate 18 plus Pluto's moons so the total reach would be closer to 20". The Sun is turned from brass bar. The planets are made of natural gemstone.
The clock makers George Graham and Thomas Tompkins designed and built the first modern orrery in 1704, but astronomers and naturalists have been studying the movement of the planets for thousands of years:Through the operating planetary instrument of the solar system, teachers and students, parents and children share astronomy knowledge and tell about our solar system, the 8 planets, the laws of operation, and the characteristics of different planets.
When charged the mechanism is set in motion and the wheels are spinning.This models are high quality and very rewarding, but they are different from other metal model kits and even experienced modelers find there is a learning curve.
Orrery Solar System Model is a perfect gift to say love your creativity.A very ideal present for special occasions or just to share with your family for a fun bonding activity. Additionally, it's a great option for collectible items. Classy decorations for living room, bedroom, offices, etc.
Design and build your orrery solar system model from scratch. The gear train is intricate and made of exceptional quality H59 brass that shines with pure gold. Each brass gear train is designed to work smoothly and safely.
The planets are turned from nature gemstones. Each planet is accurately scaled to its position in relation to the others, allowing you to see the relative positions of the planets in the solar system model.
The model has a plug, and when you plug it in, it starts spinning at the right speed.
