Heat/Thermodynamics 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.
Radiometer
Supplier: MOLLER THERM
Radiometer according to Crookés. Consists of a glass container on foot with low air pressure and needle-bearing spinner with four vertical mica discs. The discs are black on one side and shiny on the other. The discs thus absorb radiation differently. The higher temperature of the dark side means that the air molecules get greater kinetic energy in collision with the dark side of the discs than with their shiny side. The result is that the spinner starts to rotate.

Thomson e / m tube
Supplier: 3B Scientific
Evacuated glass flask containing i.a. electron gun with directly heated tungsten wire cathode and a cylindrical, collimating anode. The generated beam is allowed to stroke along a semi-transparent mica disc in the center of the tube. Luminescent coating on the front of the disc makes the beam appear. Two of the edges of the back are provided with graduated scales.
