Useful for demonstrating momentum, conservation of energy, and torque. The wheel is suspended by two strong cords which are wound around its shaft and then released. The wheel will wind as it falls but will wind itself back up as the momentum carries the wheel upward in the opposite direction. The oscillation process will continue for several moments as the wheel slowly loses momentum.
Features
- Uncover the Secrets of Rotational Dynamics with the Affordable Maxwell’s Wheel Demonstration!
- Dive into the fascinating world of physics with the GSC International 1886 Maxwell’s Wheel Demonstration. This STEM science tool is perfect for classrooms and homeschools, allowing you and your students to explore the principles of force, motion, acceleration, and inertia in action.
- Featuring a large, freely rotating wheel and a pulley system with weights, the Maxwell’s Wheel Demonstration lets you witness the conservation of angular momentum in real-time. As the weights descend, they apply a torque to the wheel, causing it to spin and showcasing these fundamental scientific concepts.
- This versatile tool also illustrates the concept of energy conservation, where the potential energy of the weights is transformed into the rotational kinetic energy of the wheel. It’s a hands-on learning experience that will captivate your students and deepen their understanding of these physics principles.
- Whether you’re a teacher looking to enliven your physics lessons or a homeschooler seeking an engaging STEM activity, the GSC International 1886 Maxwell’s Wheel Demonstration is the perfect addition to your educational toolkit. Unlock the mysteries of rotational dynamics and energy conservation with this affordable, must-have science tool.
