Shows that the bottom pressure in a liquid depends only on the height and not the shape of the container. The fluid pressure is transferred via a rubber diaphragm to an adjustable hand. Comes with four containers of different shapes. Dimensions.

The profile of the runway has been designed so that the experiments can be performed easily, quickly and safely. The length of the track (1,5 m) is more than sufficient for all conceivable physical experiments to be performed. The trolleys are equipped with overload protection in the form of a recessed, resilient wheel suspension. Characteristics.

The set is primarily intended for the upper level of elementary school or the equivalent level of knowledge. It is suitable for both demonstration and laboratory use. The kit can be used in any room with access to water. The kit includes everything needed with the exception of table salt, rubbing alcohol, cotton and cardboard sheets. The material is stored in a specially designed wooden box. Through a wealth of detail and many combination possibilities, basic physics experiments can be carried out in a number of different areas. Examples of attempts:

Used to show the effect of air resistance in free fall. An air pump or water suction is used to evacuate the air in the pipe. Supplied with: 1 glass tube, 2 rubber plugs, one of which with a crane tube. 3 test specimens of resp. down, plastic and lead.

With a few simple steps, the ballistic pendulum is quickly rebuilt into a throwing device with a variable/variable firing angle. The ballistic pendulum, a common method for determining the speed of a pistol bullet, is to push them into a sandbag. With the ballistic pendulum, a harmless variant of this experiment can be performed in the classroom.

Apparatus for demonstrating the independence of the components of a composite motion. A force is exerted against an arrow, in the direction of a vertically set target, by means of a wire connected to an elastic band. When the arrow is released, the target is released at the same time. The arrow always hits the free-falling target, regardless of the position from which the arrow is released. Supplied with wooden plate with mounted strap, spring lock for attaching the target, arrow with string (approx. 275 cm) and target.

For demonstration of the rocket principle. The model is half filled with water and placed on a launch pad. An internal overpressure is inflated with an air pump. The rocket is released manually and then flies freely longer than 40 m. Can also be propelled with a carbon dioxide cartridge along a tensioned line. The rocket's traction force, with carbon dioxide cartridge as the driving source, can be measured with a dynamometer and amounts to about 0.3 N.

With the equipment, centrifugal forces that arise during a body's rotation around a specific axis can be measured and examined. The device consists of a plane with a path for a cart. On the underside there is a vertical shaft that is mounted in a bearing. The plane is made to rotate with a laboratory motor connected with a drive belt to the bearing. The experimental trolley is placed on the track and prevented from leaving the track by two bent steel wires. A wire is connected to the trolley that runs over a pulley and on to a dynamometer.

Apparatus for detecting that the pressure at the bottom of a container does not depend on its design, but only on the liquid level. For quantitative determination of the hydrostatic pressure and examination of the linear relationship between pressure and liquid level. The liquid pressure at the bottom of the various vessels deforms a highly elastic rubber membrane whose movement is transmitted to a centimeter-graded needle. The deviation can be compensated with weights. The mass and distance of the weight from the pivot point make it possible to quantitatively determine the pressure change. A second pointer can be mounted vertically to visualize fluid level.

This experiment shows how fast a vertical pendulum would swing, if it was placed on a foreign celestial body e.g. the moon or March. Phywe's variable g-pendulum can change the plane of oscillation from the vertical, a=0°, up to the horizontal plane, ie a=90°. When a=0°, g acts at full force. If the plane of oscillation is not parallel to the vertical, only g × cos a acts on the pendulum motion. A movement to the moon shows that gravity amounts to about 16.6% of the earth's, which in our pendulum on the earth, corresponds to an angle α=80.5°. The force of attraction in March amounts to 38% of the earth, which can be simulated in the g-pendulum by setting a= 69°.
