Product Overview
Students can experience the forces involved when conservation of angular momentum, centrifugal force, and gyroscopic precession are demonstrated using this platform. It also serves as an excellent support for demonstrations where rotation of the apparatus is desirable. Constructed from two MDF discs 40cm diameter with six anti-slip patches for safe use and a ball race bearing in between. The platform can support balanced loads up to 100 kg and is most effectively used to demonstrate conservation of angular momentum. Weight: 5 kg.
Important: Stand on both feet, with feet on either side of center. For smooth operation, the lubricant in the bearing must be at room temperature. Always use caution when standing on the platform.
