Developing and using innovative teaching methods might be challenging for designers, teachers, and students. Current work covers the theory, simulation, and remote operation of a mechanical spring. Mechanical spring is presented as a mechatronic device that includes two pneumatic cylinders and accompanying equipment, and supporting software for remote control. This remote experiment enables simulation of different types of springs. The experiment was evaluated by three independent groups: Students, teachers, and independent evaluators. The results point out that developed remote experiment have a positive influence on the learning process.
