Tamiya 71126 Mechanical Swimmer - Classroom Friendly Model

The Tamiya 71126 Mechanical Swimmer is a compact kit aimed at tinkerers and educators looking to demonstrate mechanical motion in water. Alter limb and head positions to cycle through Freestyle, Butterfly and Backstroke and see practical effects of geometry and timing.

Drive System Overview

The kit is driven by a Submarine Motor Mini and an Underwater Gearbox that convert rotation into reciprocal limb action using crankarms. Rubber bands couple the drive to the arms to recreate swimming strokes while illustrating basic mechanics such as leverage and timing.

Assembly and Care

Built for easy assembly, the snap-fit components mean no extra tools are required. The high-speed Submarine Motor Mini includes two O-rings to limit water entry, but it is still wise to rinse and dry components after use. One AAA battery is required and not supplied.

Specifications

  • Includes Submarine Motor Mini (High-Speed Type)
  • Underwater Gearbox for limb movement
  • Rudder adjustable for straight or circular swimming
  • Requires 1 AAA battery (not included)
