In this eye-catching book, readers can explore the hidden inner workings of machines and inventions, from mundane objects such as toasters and bicycles to cutting edge technologies such as pill-sized medical robots and super-fast maglev trains. Readers use the see-through magic lens to reveal how things work and the elements hidden within machines – everything from wires and pipes to the magnetic and gravitational forces machines rely on to function.
Accompanying text explains how these machines function, how they affect our daily lives, and the physical and chemical phenomena that enable them to work.
