Helmholtz coils
Supplier: ELWE LEHRGERAETEBAU KLINGENTHA
Used e.g. to form homogeneous magnetic fields. Two identical coils placed in parallel by means of three fastening devices. The coils can be connected in series or in parallel. To determine e/m, the wire beam tube is placed between the Helmholtz coils in such a way that the visible beam is perpendicular to the homogeneous magnetic field. The generated magnetic field can be measured with a magnetic field meter with hall elements. Specifications.

Motor, 12 V DC, with iron-free rotor
Supplier: ELWE LEHRGERAETEBAU KLINGENTHA
Motor with rotor that lacks iron and thereby has a very low moment of inertia, which in turn enables fast start and stop or change of direction of rotation. The time from start to maximum speed (3000 rpm) is only 11 ms. Can be used for experiments with mechanical oscillations. The motor is most conveniently operated with a function generator.

Kundt's tubes
Supplier: PHYWE
Glass tube used to demonstrate standing waves and acoustical forces. When used in conjunction with a sound source (single frequency), plunger to alter the effective length of the tube and cork dust or talcum powder, the tube can be made to resonate and the powder will aggregate at nodes in the tube. Calculation of the wavelength and speed of sound can be calculated from the measurement of these nodes.

Centrifugal power device with experimental trolley
Supplier: CORNELSEN EXPERIMENTA
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.

Variable G-pendulum
Supplier: PHYWE
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°.

Helmholtz coils
Supplier: PHYWE
Two identical coils with a diameter of 400 mm (2R), 154 turns of winding each and mounted on separate sockets with connection contacts. Distance between coils 200 mm (R). The coils are held together by three detachable rails. Two of these have brackets for wire beam tubes 765-1206. The coils are used, for example, to provide a homogeneous magnetic field in the wire beam tube. Suitable voltage: 7 V DC (well smoothed) if the coils are connected in parallel and 14 V DC for series connection.

Gyroscopic motion, spoked wheel
Supplier: 3B Scientific
Spoked wheel with weighted rim for demonstrating conservation of angular momentum. Simple to use due to small wheel radius and ease of suspension. Teachers and students can feel the conservation of angular momentum as they hold the spinning wheel while sitting in a rotating chair or standing on a rotating platform. You can also create the effect of precession by spinning the bicycle wheel and hanging it from a string.

Arrow board with falling target
Supplier: PHYWE
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.
