Mechanics Learning Activities
Avantor offers a complete catalogue of instruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.
Planetary Gear Demonstrator
This product is a small-sized model unit used for explaining the principle of a planetary gear. By setting the internal sun and pinion gears into motion (input or fixed), you can get the different outputs from acceleration, deceleration and reverse. Comes equipped with a storage case holding 10 Planetary Gear Demonstrators. These items are made special to order and are not held in stock. Lead times are approximately two to three months. Freight charges may apply. Dimentions: 24L x 14W x 14H cm ; Weight: 3kg
Hybrid System Model
We all wish we had our own hybrid automobile to take apart, re-purpose, and use to show others exactly how this fascinating piece of technology works. Just because this may not be a possibility for you doesn't mean you can communicate the basics of hybrid technology.
Hybrid System Model
This unit is a solid model of a parallel hybrid system that is used in the Toyota Prius.
Hybrid Cut-Away Engine
Most people are familiar with the key factors of hybrid technology: The engine and motor. However, most don't get a chance to peek inside of these key components while they're running to examine, assess, and diagnose.
Eisco® Linear Air Track Systems
These kits provide a cost-effective and friction-free system for the study of dynamics.
Two-Stroke Gas Engine Model
This model shows the internal structure and operating principles of an air cooled two-stroke engine.
Two-Stroke Diesel Engine Model
This model shows the internal structure and operating principles of an air cooled two-stroke engine. All parts are aluminum and plastic. Ignition is shown via a small bulb. Carburetor and fuel supply are also sectioned. Hand crank is provided for manual operation. Mounted on a base.
Statistic and Dynamic Study of Torsion Apparatus, Eisco Scientific
Great for studying the simple harmonic motion of a torsional pendulum.
Helical Spring and Mass Set
Demonstrate the extension of a spring in relation to the force applied to it.
Torsion Inertia Device
Experiment topics:
• Rotary oscillations
• Determination of moments of inertia using the oscillation method
• Moments of inertia of various geometric bodies
• Steiner's theorem
Whiteboard Mechanics Kit
The mechanics kit for whiteboard demonstrations includes more than 25 large, colored, and easily distinguished components stored in a case with foam inlay. More than 30 experiments can be set up in rapid time. Large components ensure that experiments can be viewed from a distance. Secure attachment is guaranteed by high-grade AlNiCo magnets, allowing quick and easy configuration of experiments. Measuring units, vector diagrams, and explanations can be provided right next to the experimental configuration on the blackboard.
