ROTATIONAL MOTION

Intended for use with the bicycle-wheel gyroscope, this rotary platform allows operation on a laboratory stool or as a base surface. Anti-skid design. more

High quality precision-made gyroscope for demonstration as well as for quantitative determination of gyroscopic laws by means of practical experiments. Experiment apparatus with a shaft that can be tilted and rotated while attached to a stand ... more

Symmetrical pendulum system on an axle, for demonstrating centrifugal force. The pendulum arms are held in a state of rest by a coil spring. Depending on the rotational speed, they are lifted against the force of gravity as the axle turns. ... more

Apparatus for investigating frictionless rotation. A small rotating disc with a protractor scale supports a cross bar to which weights can be attached. The disc is supported by a bed of air in which its axis is centred. A driving weight is ... more

Rotating apparatus for determining angular acceleration as a function of the torque and for determining the moment of inertia depending on mass and distance from an axis. An axle on agate bearings supports a cross bar to which weights can ... more

Spoked wheel with large moment of inertia for demonstrating the conversion of energy in the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy and vice versa. Includes suspending rod and adjustable suspension mechanism. The rotating axle ... more

Gyroscope with low-profile, dynamically balanced metal rotor in a Cardan gimbal mount. Ideal for studying gyroscopic stability phenomena, precession and nutation. Also supplied is a pendulum mounting that can be used for investigating the ... more

Experiment topics: • Rotary oscillations • Determination of moments of inertia using the oscillation method • Moments of inertia of various geometric bodies • Steiner's theorem Axle for investigating rotational ... more

The Mini Laser Photo Tachometer is an excellent tool for mechanics experiments or demonstrations as it allows non-contact RPM measurements of rotating objects. Simply apply reflecting tape on the object to be measured and point the laser for ... more

Portable microprocessor-controlled device with quartz-controlled time base for observation of periodic movements, as well as for frequency and rotation speed measurement. Xenon flash tube built into a robust plastic casing with handle and ... more

Helps students understand how and why gyroscopes are used for many guidance systems. This is a well balanced, high quality gyroscope with adjustable, plastic bearings. The accessories include plastic gimbals, rocker, and pivoting housing. This ... more

Apparatus on axle for demonstrating and explaining oblateness of the earth and other planets due to their rotation. Two steel bands crossed over and bent into a ring with a guide rod. Ring: 240 mm dia. Guide rod: 10 mm dia. more
