Coriolis Force Demonstrator- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The task of this handy benchtop unit is
to demonstrate the Coriolis force on bodies in a rotating reference
system. A water tank is attached to a rotating boom, this can be placed
in motion by a motor. With the aid of a pump, a thin jet of water is
generated in the tank, this is sprayed radially from the outside in the
direction of the centre of rotation of the rotating boom. Depending on
the speed of the setup and the outlet speed of the jet, the jet is
deflected by an apparent force, the Coriolis force. The speed of the
motor is electronically controlled and displayed digitally. The unit
stands on rubber feet and requires, apart for filling with water, only a
mains supply.
