Maxwell’s Wheel
Useful for demonstrating momentum, conservation of energy and torque. A large flywheel suspended by two strong cords. The cords 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 gradually coming to a stop as the wheel slowly loses momentum and travels less each time. Include instructions.

Variable Inertia Bar
This apparatus helps to demonstrate that the torque required to accelerate a flywheel depends upon its moment of inertia rather than its mass. A steel bar 790 x 12 mm is mounted at its centre on a sleeved spindle. The spindle is extended through a sleeve so that the bar may be rotated by a weight and string. Heavy adjustable masses are mounted on each end of the bar and maybe clamped at any desired position, enabling inertia to be varied.

Pendulum on Stand
Everything You Need to Demonstrate the Properties of Simple Pendulums By suspending several pendulums parallel to one another, you can dramatize the effects of such variables as mass and length on pendulum behavior. This versatile unit consists of a heavy steel base supporting an aluminum rod, with meter stick attached to an adjustable slide which can act as both an index and a stop in addition to a triple pendulum clamp. Also includes instructions and three balls — two 25mm drilled metal balls and one 25mm drilled wooden ball.

Adjustable Pendulum
This is a double pendulum apparatus to investigate the fundamental properties of pendulum. The length of the pendulum can be varied using the steel balls to observe the effects. It can be mounted to any retort stand upto 13 mm rod diameter. Two steel balls are provided with the apparatus. With this apparatus, the qualitative studies of periods of steel balls with individual string lengths, frequency and beats can be done. A stopwatch is required to examine these ideas quantitatively. User instructions are provided.

Friction Blocks and Surfaces
To illustrate the concept that friction depends on the nature and smoothness of materials. The kit consists of a glass mirror with sandpaper affixed to one side and two wooden blocks, one with a hook and the other with an eye. The latter block has a mirror cemented to one face. Both static and sliding frictional forces between different surfaces can be compared and contrasted using this kit. With instructions.
