Maxwell's Wheel
|

|
| Useful for demonstrating momentum, conservation of energy and
torque! The unit is suspended by two strong cords, which are wound
around the shaft of the wheel and then released. The wheel will
unwind as it falls but will wind itself back up as the momentum
carries the wheel upward in the opposite direction. This
oscillation process will continue for several moments as the wheel
slowly loses momentum and travels less each time. Instructions
included. (12" x 4" x 17.3"; 7lbs). |
