Description
The
apparatus shows the relationship between crank shaft rotation and
piston displacement, for a fixed "cylinder". The crank length is
adjustable, and the connecting rod length can be varied. Crankshaft
rotation is measured by a rotating protractor scale and piston
displacement is shown on a sliding scale.
The equipment may be mounted vertically for demonstration purposes, or
flat on the bench for experimental use.
This
equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and
experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been
given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without
unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus
is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all
measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so
that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles
being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the
apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test
results.
