Pencil sharpener

Says Monocomplex, “Robots contain a strong kidult factor. There is little difference, only in the form and structure, robots are interesting and fun to both adults and children.”

“Pencil sharpening is the principle of sharpening pencil through turning action. Turning the handle, the spiral gear inside turns and sharpens the pencil, and in the front and back of the gear there is a fixed axis which holds it.”

Lamp

“Lamp is an object which is connected to electricity and which always has wires, and when not in use, the lines are wound or folded to reduce weight.”

Music box

“Music box is an object which has a strong kinetic factor which can result in sound through the action of turning. Many gears are engaged and the part engraved in the metal plate makes the sound when it is turned.”
