Jaws of Life School Project Kit

The rescue tool that cuts a car open, built with syringes and tubing. This Jaws of Life kit is the classic CAPS Technology Mini-PAT project: press one syringe and the fluid pushes the other, and the scissor arms open. It's the best hydraulics demonstration in the syllabus because the mechanism is completely visible.

What is in the pack

• Syringes and connecting tubing
• Pivot and linkage hardware
• A printed design brief that asks the learner to sketch their own version before building

Covers Mechanical Systems and Control in CAPS Technology. Worth knowing that the brief sheet is part of the point: it tells the learner the model only has to demonstrate the principle, not cut anything.
