Assemble it with your own hands and find out how a curvimeter works
The model kit comes with a QR-code that will forward you to the learning guide
about the mechanism, the principal of its working, the main characteristics,
formulas, and interesting assignments. Dive into augmented reality and look
at how the curvimeter works. Interact with the model via a special AR
application from Ugears. Find out about the Curvimeter’s design and how it
works
The Curvimeter – or opisometer – is a device that measures the
length of curved lines and helps to calculate the distance between the points on
a map more precisely than a ruler or a compass.
The mechanism has a
measuring wheel, a clock face and a hand. When the wheel moves along the line on
a map that you need to measure, the hand moves around the clock face marked with
measuring units – centimeters, inches, etc. All you need to do in the end is to
check the map scale and to multiply your data by the denominator in the scale.
You can rely on the curvimeter when planning a hike with your friends or a
family trip – it will help you to determine the distance you’d cover to get to
your destination. The device is especially useful when you have no access to any
electronic gadgets or the internet.
Use The Curvimeter is used to measure
the length of curved lines on topographic maps, charts, schemes, and plans. It
is a common tool for map-makers, tourists, and road services.
The
Mechanism of the curvimeter is made of: Measuring wheel with main and
additional scales, and a hand. Planetary mechanism. Cycloidal drive.
Ugears STEM-models are designed to suit different age groups with a special
focus on learning component. The assembly of the model will be interesting and
won’t take much time. STEM-lab Construction kits come with all you need in a
box, which includes:
Wooden details pre-cut with a precise high-tech
laser in high-quality plywood boards, as well as other materials required for
assembly. The models need no glue or additional instruments to build. The
details come out of the board with a slight push. Step-by step illustrated
assembly instruction manual. Practical lab tasks with use of your model.
