Optical gratings, 3-in-1

Optical gratings, 3-in-1

This set consists of three original gratings from Paton Hawksley with 100, 300 and 600 lines per mm respectively. The gratings are mounted between plane-parallel glass plates in a cardboard frame of 90 x 30 mm. The middle grating corresponds to 7500 lines per inch, which gives an accurate line count of 295.28 lines per mm. Each grating has an area of 9 x 16 mm.

Solar cell car, rechargeable

Solar cell car, rechargeable

This solar car is a small model car equipped with a rechargeable battery. The battery is charged when the car is exposed to sunlight or a powerful lamp, after which the car can continue to drive without direct sunlight. It provides a practical and visual demonstration of how solar energy can be stored and used as a motive power.

Solar energy experiment set

Solar energy experiment set

Solderless solar kit with 10 project ideas and English instructions. Includes breadboard (80 × 60 mm), microcontroller, solar cell, resistors, transistors, diodes, speaker and battery box. Projects range from solar LED and “attention grabber” to musical instrument, IR tester, garden lamp, motion sensor and battery charger. Good addition to an existing electronics/breadboard kit.

SKU: FR-655010

Solar cell kit

Solar cell kit

The solar cell kit consists of a small solar panel and associated components such as a motor, sounder, light source and connecting wires. The kit is simple and compact, which makes it easy to get started with experiments involving solar energy. On the back of the panel, it is possible to connect the cells in series or parallel using sockets, and at the same time an included bulb can be connected so that the solar cells’ output can be made visible. There is also the possibility that the solar cells supply energy to other objects such as cars, games and the like.

Solar airship, 3 M, Ø 60 cm

Solar airship, 3 M, Ø 60 cm

This solar airship is a large cylindrical balloon made of thin black plastic. It measures 3 meters in length and 60 cm in diameter. The airship is filled with air, closed and tied with the included string, giving it an elongated balloon shape. The black surface absorbs the sun’s rays, which heats the trapped air and creates buoyancy in the same way as in a hot air balloon.

Convection chamber, Air, Budget

Convection chamber, Air, Budget

The convection chamber is used to demonstrate convection in air. It consists of a metal chamber with a sliding glass door, which is placed on an aluminum base plate. When the air is heated with a tealight (included), you can clearly see how the hot air rises and cold air flows in, for example. with the help of smoke from a smoke source. The chamber provides a simple and visual way to investigate air movement and temperature differences.

Gyroscope on foot

Gyroscope on foot

Gyroscope for displaying inertial moment and torque.

The gyroscope is mounted on the foot via a bracket and ‘pulled up’ with a string. You can now observe how the gyroscope moves in relation to its 3 free axes. In addition to a suspension bracket and two feet – one of which has rocking chair rails, the gyroscope is supplied with a winding string and various weights. The gyro is made of brass, while the surrounding ring is made of metal and plastic. The feet and bracket are made of hard plastic.
