Power and Machines(動力與機械)

Power and Machines(動力與機械)

Description

Today, the advancement of mechanical technology remains the cornerstone of technological development. Here, we will understand and  experience the profound impact of power and mechanical technology on human life. With social changes and the evolution of industrial technology, we have entered the era of smart manufacturing. Meanwhile, we will learn about the history of industrial robots and the trends of future technology development.

The exhibition is mainly divided into three exhibition areas: mechanical principles, power sources, and complex machinery. The mechanical principle exhibition includes the introduction of mechanical components and kinematic pair. The power source exhibition includes the introduction of windmills, hydraulic wheels, steam engines, engines, and smart motors. The complex machinery exhibition includes smart mobile devices, machine tools, injection molding machines, locks, industrial robots, and more. This hall translates technological inventions into story-based scenarios, and transforms abstract scientific principles and complicated electro-mechanical  structures into fun interactive experiences. Through interacting with robotic arms, visitor can directly experience the applications of intelligent robots, gaining insight in the trends of intelligent and innovative industries which are developing rapidly and will significantly impact our lives.

This exhibition hall is suitable for middle school students and above, as well as all visitors interested in power machinery.

Focus

  • Locks
    Locks
    This area displays various lock artifacts and exhibits, introducing the origin, invention and manufacture of locks, as well as knowledge about ancient, modern, and smart locks. The three basic components of a lock are: a fixing device, an obstacle, and an opening device.
  • Motors
    Motors
    This area introduces the discovery of electromagnetic principle, motors in the era of alternating currents and controllable motors. It describes the development and evolution of motors and presents various innovative motor designs, including groundbreaking ultrasonic motors and motors from the Miniature World.
  • Industrial Robot Zone
    Industrial Robot Zone
    Using the approach of “scenario x technology x experience,” this zone creates application scenarios for robotic arms. It allows visitors to observe the development process of intelligent manufacturing, personally experience the principles of operation, and gradually learn the aspects of intelligent manufacturing. Through the display of real-life industrial robots and smart cars, visitors can learn about the development of the industry.
