b) Energy storage
Three year warranty
Range of Experiments
To verify the second law of motion applied to a flywheel, ie the relationship between torque and angular accerleration
To compare experimental and calculated moments of inertia of a disc
To study the energy transformations and to demonstrate that a flywheel can be used to store energy
Description
A
steel disc 250 mm diameter and 30 mm thick is mounted on a shaft
running in ball bearings housed on a substantial wall bracket. A mark on
the flywheel and a pointer on the bracket enable the revolutions to be
counted and timed with the stop watch supplied. A cord, load hanger and
set of weights are provided.
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.
