Ideal for hands-on learners and creative problem solvers, this high-quality book inspires quick, functional builds that bring engineering concepts to life. ## Description This first volume of The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Machines and Mechanisms, showcases small projects to build with LEGO Technic gears, motors, gadgets, and other moving elements. You'll find hundreds of clever, buildable mechanisms, each one demonstrating a key building technique or mechanical principle. You'll learn to build sliding doors, grasping claws, rack-and-pinion mechanisms, and ball-shooting devices of every sort! Each model includes a list of required parts and colourful photographs that guide you through the build without the need for step-by-step instructions. As you build, you'll explore the principles of simple machines, gear systems, power translation, and more. Review: Really good book - This is a great book - bought for a 9 year old for Christmas, alongside a power functions kit. Warning - you will need plenty of Technics parts for this, including quite a few cogs and gears. The book gives a lot of ideas for little mechanisms (and some not so little), illustrating pretty much every mechanical concept I can think of. And the good thing about Technics is that the components are of such good quality that things really do work without rattling, jamming, or falling apart. Another good thing about this book is that many of the models are relatively quick to make, so we often do "10 minutes" of Technics between other jobs, and usually get something new working in that time. A note: The models are shown with a few clear photographs for each, but NOT step-by-step instructions. The idea is to learn how to think things through yourself and experiment, not follow step-by-step instructions, so that's fine by me. Definitely recommended. Review: Excellent ideas! - Fantastic book! The build ideas are very clearly presented and easy to follow for anyone. You will find that some use more than just what comes in a single "Power Functions" set, but still interesting to create should you instead want to employ a manual approach. The book itself is of excellent quality. Pretty heavy, about 1kg (confirmed by author), but given the fantastic quality of paper and print, that's more than expected. I bough volume 2 as well (alongside a Power Function set), but that's just because I love Yoshihito's Lego books, and felt it's better to have them both, not because you'd need to. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 142,522 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 522 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 656 Reviews | ## Images ![The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol. 1: Machines and Mechanisms (Lego Power Functions Idea Bk 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DNS2MUAfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good book *by S***C on 3 February 2016* This is a great book - bought for a 9 year old for Christmas, alongside a power functions kit.

Colourfull book with great ideas for power function creations. Excellent quality with many pages. Every day he creates something different and sometimes he combined 2 or 3 creations to build something bigger and more complicated. After bought that book my son stopped watching TV or playing with i-pad. ## Frequently Bought Together - The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Volume 1: Machines and Mechanisms - The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol. 2: Cars and Contraptions - The LEGO Technic Idea Book: Simple Machines --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47993541-the-lego-power-functions-idea-book-vol-1-machines-mechanisms](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47993541-the-lego-power-functions-idea-book-vol-1-machines-mechanisms) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
