Inquisitive Launches the World's First LEGO-Compatible Solenoid Engine, in partnership with Vsauce

July 26, 2024
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest creation: the Inquisitive Solenoid Engine. This revolutionary LEGO-compatible kit features nearly 400 pieces, including rare and unique components that bring the fascinating world of mechanical engineering to life. For 15 years, we waited for big brands to create a fully functional Solenoid Engine kit. When none appeared, we decided to take matters into our own hands. Partnering with Vsauce and leveraging the power of The Curiosity Box, we've created what Michael Stevens calls "the most beautiful way to see energy." This collaboration exemplifies our commitment to working with the world's greatest creators to launch innovative products. As our CEO, Tara Hamilton-Whitaker, notes, "The Solenoid Engine kit is a wonderful example of what we can achieve when we combine education, innovation, and creativity. It's not just a toy—it's a gateway to inspiring the next generation of engineers and inventors." Our Solenoid Engine kit isn't just educational—it's a work of art. Here are some of its unique features: Brass Flywheel: This heavy, compact flywheel is made of dense brass, offering both beauty and efficiency with its rim-focused mass distribution. Nautilus Gears: Inspired by ancient molluscs, these logarithmic spiral gears create a mezmerizing effect of variable speed rotation. Dual-Pin Geneva Mechanism: Our innovative two-pin design translates continuous rotation into intermittent rotary motion, mimicking mechanisms found in everything from banknote counters to film projectors. Direction Changing Gears: These fascinating gears allow for changes in both direction and speed, combining elements of planetary gearboxes and teeth-uncompleted gears. Oval Gears: While common in the printing industry, our oval gears demonstrate principles used in flowmeters for liquid control in pipelines. Square Gears: With their unique 90° angles, these gears showcase how industrial machines can produce precise periods of speed variation. As with all our innovations, the Solenoid Engine kit is a LIMITED EDITION release. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of engineering history!
