Maxwell's wheel
Maxwell's wheel on a vertical frame for demonstrating energy conversion and testing conservation of energy.
A mechanical demonstration device consisting of 4 components: a base, a vertical frame with an upper crossbar, a metal flywheel disc with an axis and a suspension thread. Designed for 3 demonstrations: the mutual conversion of kinetic and potential energy during oscillations of a Maxwell's wheel, testing the law of conservation of mechanical energy and observing the damping of oscillations due to friction and air resistance. A classic visual experiment of the topic “Conservation Laws” in physics lessons.
- 1.Base - 1 pc.
- 2.Vertical frame with top crossbar - 1 pc.
- 3.Metal disk with axle (flywheel) - 1 pc.
- 4.Suspension thread - 2 pcs.
- Interconversion of kinetic and potential energy in Maxwell’s wheel oscillations
- Checking the law of conservation of mechanical energy
- Loss of mechanical energy through friction and air resistance (oscillation damping)
