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.
