Building in 1 Direction: The rods can be connected in-line without the intermediate need of a connector, almost reducing to half the quantity of parts required to build models.
Building in 2 Direction: While the assembled rod looks uniform with nothing protruding, it may provide building directions vertically and sideways by simply snap fitting another rod to one of the bi-directional side cavities. This innovative design allows snap assembly on both sides simultaneously and greatly enhances the expandability of the System.
Building in 3 Directions: The System is capable of tackling with the same ease as all the other building directions. All directions of the 3D space are accessible by combining the rods with the various types of connectors.
Connecting in Fixed Angles: This system makes it possible to build complex models that require connections of 45°
Triangulating: Structures Right angle triangles can easily be created, ideally with side lengths of 15 units. The advantage of the Engino System is that the 2D structure may at any time be converted to 3D without needing any additional connectors. The TEE and ELBOW connectors provide a change in the plane of building without having any elements protruding.
The model may be modified at any time and there is no need to substitute the connectors with different ones. This not only reduces the number of different parts required to make a model but adds to the simplicity and functionality of the System.
Connecting Everywhere: Engino rods can behave as bricks that achieve various lengths. What makes this System different than other building toy systems is that any length is possible with the patent-pending extendable rods.
This amazing feature, when combined with the pivoted joints, can lead to the creation of any triangular shape and construction that were previously inconceivable. The extendable rod replaces the need of numerous other components and maximizes the building capabilities of the System.
Connecting in Every Angle: The potential of the System is unleashed by “cloning” the innovative geometries to pivoted joints. A specialty designed component is free to swing around the pivot part allowing any angle of the 3D space to be created:
- Expandable at any time, in any direction, in any angle
- Rods are also connectors
- All parts snap-fit and stay together
- Any length is possible
- Built “big and easy”
- Simple to use
- Maximized modification capabilities
- Low number of different parts
- Fewer components can build more models
- Creative and educational
Building Machines: The optimized design of Engino components consists of only 18 different types of multi-functional parts. Yet you can build simple and complex machines. Following the same design principles of the basic system, a range of different types of gears, pulleys, axles and accessories make it the ideal constructional toy for home and school.

what effect does the acidity of a liquid have on chalk?
All liquids have a different level of acidity. The best way to find out is to experiment by pouring one kind of liquid over chalk, let the chalk absorb the liquid, then with ph paper, test the chalk for its acidity level
You can get ph paper at any drug store.
Let us know what you find out.

can solar energy be used to clean water?
another question:
does fresh water hold heat longer than salt water?
What effect does the angle of the sun have on the amount of energy a solar panel takes in and produces throughout a spring day?
Ruthie, if you go to the top of this blog and read what I wrote you know that I am here to teach you to find your own answers.
All you questions are excellent questions to test out by doing a science fair project experiment. That is how you find your answer just like a scientist. What makes science projects so much fun is that your hypothesis does not have to be right!
So why don’t you write a hypothesis. I will do one, and then if you want to do one of the other projects, write one for your selected topic:
Hypothesis: Solar panels get the most sunlight energy when they are facing directly at the sun opposed to indirect sunlight.
Would love to put your project on the sight when you are finished. Be sure and enter the
