You have everything set up, but your attempt doesn't work? Here are a few tips: Look closely at the circuitry for each experiment. It is important that the electronic parts sit exactly where they are on the drawing. Otherwise it can happen that no current flows. It is best to use the letters and numbers that designate the individual holes as a guide. Some components stay in place for a long time. But sometimes they change their position. A lot of attention is required here. So check carefully every day. Check that all components are properly seated in the breadboard! If the parts are not inserted firmly enough, no current can flow. With LEDs it is important that they are connected in the right direction. The two connection wires of an LED are of different lengths. The longer one is the positive pole, the anode, the shorter one is the cathode. Easy to remember: the plus sign has one more line than the minus sign, making the wire a little longer. Also, most LEDs are flattened on the minus side, comparable to a minus sign. Easy to remember: cathode = short = edge.

The "pretzel beetle" is legend. The VW Beetle model still inspires countless fans worldwide. The first standard VW Beetle left the assembly line in 1946 and quickly became a hit and a symbol of the economic miracle. Due to the two-part small rear window with central web, which visually resembled a pretzel, he was nicknamed "pretzel beetle". Now the 4-cylinder boxer engine of the legendary beetle from the production years 1949 to 1953 is available for the first time as a transparent functional model for DIY. 200 components with a sound module with the original beetle sound as well as a high-quality accompanying book (including building instructions) make the pretzel beetle absolutely alive again.

Achtung: Sammlerstück - limitierte Auflage von 1.000 Stück ! Wer kennt sie nicht, die Retroblechschilder aus der Vor- und Nachkriegszeit. Auch bekannt unter dem Namen Emailleschild erlebte dieses nostalgische Werbeplakat zwischen 1890 und 1960 seine Blütezeit. Mittlerweile sind die Blechschilder wieder häufiger zu sehen, vor allem als Wandschmuck zuhause. Die abgerundeten Ecken mit vorgestanzten Löchern, der gefalzte Rand, bedruckt mit einem historischen Reklamebild des beliebten Fex 1111 von Schuco auf dem 3D-geprägten Stahlblech ergibt einen echten Hingucker für das Regal oder die Wand.

Das besondere Uhrmachermesser: Edel, individuell, aus Solinger Klingenschmiede. Unser Ziel war es, ein Uhrmachermesser zu finden, das hohe Qualitäts- und Sicherheitsansprüche erfüllt, dabei bezahlbar bleibt und edel aussieht. In Zusammenarbeit mit einer Solinger Klingenschmiede haben wir jetzt ein Uhrmachermesser gefunden, von dem unsere Uhrmacher vollauf begeistert sind. Wir haben alle Messer, die wir im Sortiment führen, begutachtet und wollten jedes Detail verbessern. So entstand ein Uhrmachermesser aus Hochleistungsstahl 440 (statt dem sonst üblicherweise in diesem Bereich verwendeten Stahl 420), welches durch höheren Kohlenstoff- und Chromanteil wesentlich robuster, härter und korrosionsbeständiger ist. Der 440er Stahl ist natürlich rostfrei und problemlos schärfbar. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen, normalen Uhrmachermessern lässt sich unser Modell einfach und sicher einklappen. Sie werden mit Hilfe des Nagelhaus (Einkerbung in der Klinge) geöffnet und mit dem Backlock Mechanismus (Wippenverriegelung) beim Arbeiten fixiert - nur durch Drücken auf die hintere Feder löst sich die Arretierung und das Messer kann wieder zusammengeklappt werden. Die Breite der 63mm kurzen Klingen haben wir auf komfortable 18mm angepasst, damit mit dem Daumen auf der Klinge Druck ausgeübt werden kann, ohne Gefahr zu laufen, abzurutschen, wie es nicht selten bei schmaleren Klingen der (verletzungsmögliche) Fall ist. Unsere Uhrmacher sind begeistert davon, dass sie dieses Messer problemlos mit einer Hand halten können, während man mit der zweiten Hand z.B. mit einem Hammer gegen das Messer klopfen kann. Als Griffbeschalung wurde besonderes Wurzelholz gewählt und verarbeitet, das eingefärbt jedem Messer ein individuelles Aussehen verleiht Wir freuen uns, wenn auch Sie von diesem Schmuckstück begeistert sind und es in Ihrer Werkstatt (oder auch in der Freizeit) Anwendung findet. Heftlänge: 85mm Klingenlänge: 63mm Klingenbreite: 18mm Länge geöffnet: 148mm Gewicht: 53g

Our goal was to find a watchmaker's knife that meets high quality and safety requirements while remaining affordable and looking classy. In cooperation with a Solingen blade smithy, we have now found a watchmaker's knife, from which our watchmakers are thrilled. We have reviewed all the knives we have in our assortment and wanted to improve every detail. The result was a watchmaker's blade made of high-performance steel 440A (instead of the steel 420 otherwise used in this area), which is much more robust, harder and more resistant to corrosion thanks to its higher carbon and chromium content. Of course, the 440 steel is stainless and can be sharpened without difficulty. Unlike many other normal watchmaking knives, our model folds easily and safely. They are opened with the help of the nail house (notch in the blade) and fixed with the backlock mechanism (rocker lock) when working - only by pressing on the rear spring releases the lock and the knife can be folded back together. The width of the 63mm short blades has been adjusted to a comfortable 18mm, so that with the thumb on the blade pressure can be exerted, without risking to slip, as is often the case with narrower blades (injury possible). Our watchmakers are thrilled that they can easily hold this knife with one hand while holding the second hand, e.g. with a hammer can knock against the knife. The watchmaker's knife is available in two variants: With Cocobolo handles (also known as Rosewood or Palo Negro) and olive wood. We are glad, if you are also enthusiastic about this piece of jewelery and find it in your workshop (or also in the spare time) application. Handle length: 85mm Blade length: 63mm Blade width: 18mm Length opened: 148mm Weight: 55g Variants: 346039 - Palo Negro - with cocobolo handles 346040 - Olivo Europa - with olive wood handles

This box has it all. But before you even get inside, you need to use your mind. First of all, one puzzle after the next has to be solved in order to be able to open the box at all. It has little or nothing to do with chance - the solutions are simply based on logical decisions. In contrast to our different model kits, which you receive in individual parts and have to put together, with this so-called "CLUEBOX" it is exactly the other way around: You get an actually finished box that you have to dismantle with your mind. A tinkering game, an intellectual and practical CHALLENGE that ensures fun puzzles (and one or the other desperation)! Also as a wonderful gift! Developed in Germany by puzzle fans for puzzle fans! ************************************************** ******* With this box you drive away the monkfish Davy Jones ..... London in 1720. Ian Kensington, captain of the British Engineering Forces, is responsible for the first successful salvage of a sunken ship. In his report to His Majesty King George I of England, Kensington first mentioned Davy Jones' chest. Although it was a real item, he packed the box in a web of legends about the anglerfish Davy Jones, who supposedly locked away the wandering souls of all sailors who had lost their lives on the high seas. Since that first find, similar boxes have been found in shipwrecks around the world. Some of them ended up in private collections, others are in museums, but so far nobody has been able to uncover their secret. Can you manage to open the box and make Davy Jones admit defeat? ************************************************** ******** THE RULES OF THE GAME ARE VERY SIMPLE: • Start the puzzle adventure and solve the tasks: One after the other until you can look inside the box. • Made? Then the Cluebox can easily be put back together and given to someone else who can try ... EVERYTHING FANTASTIC AT A GLANCE: • The Cluebox is NOT a common "Hallodri bag of tricks" that can be solved in 10 minutes ... reason and logical thinking are required here: • 60 - 90 minutes of adventure and a challenging, formative experience • 72 components • All parts made of high-quality birch wood that are cut with laser technology (clean edges, no burrs or fraying!) • 100% puzzle fun, brain teaser, head nut ... (hammers, if the challenge is too big, we also have in our range, e.g. 335894 ;-) • 100% challenge for the "gray cells" • Creative gift idea • Height 120mm • Interactive box with various puzzles • Player: 1-2 • Recommended for ages 14 and up • Secret compartment size: 10 x 45 x 60mm • Replayability: Can be solved again with other players -> If you are playing such a game for the first time, we recommend our reference 361834 to start with, as this - "Schrödinger's cat" - contains fewer components.

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger and illustrates the problems of quantum mechanics in everyday objects. In this experiment, a cat and some poison are locked in a closed box. Quantum mechanics now says that after a while the cat is both dead and alive. Unfortunately, Schrödinger completely forgot about the cat because of his busy daily routine. We are sure the cat is still alive and we have to save it! ************************************************** ******** THE RULES OF THE GAME ARE VERY SIMPLE: • Start the puzzle adventure and solve the tasks: One after the other until you can look inside the box. • Made?
