Physics popup book

Popup books were great fun when learning to read! they enticed me with mechanically actuated, interactive illustrations that grabbed my attention and encouraged me to understand the story behind them. Could they be adapted to teach physics principles too? This might encourage younger readers to explore science and engineering, or make an attractive conversation for students or geeks in general.

Imagine interactive, cutout tabs that demonstrate these: *** two wheels of different diameters connected by a string demonstrate different rotation speeds *** two gears with different diameters turning at different speeds *** levers with fulcrums placed at different points *** piston attached to wheel, demonstrating internal combustion engine *** compound pulleys

Then again, nothing beats real-world, hands-on examples for demonstrating instantly how physical laws work. But this book might be fun to play with if your block-and-tackle is in disrepair.
