Hero's Engine
Hero's Engine

An example of Newton's Third Law of action and reaction, this classic apparatus is based on history's earliest steam engine, circa 100 AD. Steam from a small amount of water will cause the suspended flask to rotate.
Dual Bottle Rocket Launcher
Dual Bottle Rocket Launcher

Building upon the concept of our popular bottle rocket launcher, this device launches two simultaneously. Great for competitions or to test various designs against each another.

Superior quality models are great for technology classes!
Force Table
Force Table

The classic table for studying a combination of forces!
Double Cone and Ramp
Double Cone and Ramp

This "optical illusion" makes it look as though the double cone object is rolling up a ramp, but basic physics provides a simple answer. The center of mass is actually moving lower as it rolls, due to the widening of the track.
Recording Timer, 110V
Recording Timer, 110V

This 60 Hz timer is a very accurate tool for gathering data to calculate speed and acceleration of moving objects. Includes carbon disks, ticker tape, and a plastic feeler gauge. An essential for every physics lab!
