Essential Physics Demo: Spring Scale
Affordable, Easy, Fun
Present these demonstrations in front of your class to excite your students about learning core physics concepts. Set up and execution are simple, so you can spend more time engaging your students. Ideal for introducing a unit or using as reinforcement after a lesson, these demos are available for all fundamental physical science topics.
Two 70 cm long spring scales allow students to easily see and demonstrate force experiments and equilibrium.

Planetary Gear Model
This model acts similarly to the Rabinion planetary gear of a modern vehicle. The complex principles of a planetary gear are unlocked with the use of color coded discs. Blue is used for the internal gear. Green is used for the pinion gear. Yellow is used for the sun gear. This model consists of 3 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. The instructor or student manually operates this unit by locking by locking down a specific part of the gear using a fixed pin. Changes in rotation are visible when adjusting either the sun, pinion, or internal gear. A nomenclature panel is included on the front of the model for reference. 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. Dimention: 27V x 30W x 24H cm; Weight: 3 kg

Differential Model
This product is a model of a differential. This model permits the instructor and student to manually turn the handle and apply a load to the transparent wheels to demonstrate the differential mechanism.
In automotive mechanics, the differential gear arrangement permits power from the engine to be transmitted to a pair of driving wheels, which divides the force equally between them and permits them to follow paths of different lengths, as when turning a corner or crossing an uneven road. On a straight road, the wheels rotate at the same speed. When turning a corner, the outside wheel has farther to go and will turn faster than the inner wheel if unrestrained. 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.

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 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.
