Maxwells Wheel MPN:MAXW01
Maxwells Wheel
Maxwells Wheel is a classic demonstration device that shows the conversion of mechanical energy from one form to another. By rotating the wheel and releasing it, students can observe the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy of rotation as it falls, and back to potential energy as it rolls the cords up again. This hands-on learning experience is ideal for physics and engineering students to explore the principles of energy conservation and conversion. With its all-metal construction and included activity guide, Maxwells Wheel is a valuable tool for educators and researchers to enhance their understanding of mechanical energy.

This classic device is used to demonstrate the conservation of mechanical energy and its conversion from one form to another. After the wheel is rotated by hand to roll the supporting cords to the top and then released, its potential energy turns into kinetic energy of rotation as it falls. When the wheel reaches its bottom position, the kinetic energy changes back to potential energy as it rolls the cords up again. This process continues until all the energy is lost to friction. All metal construction. Includes activity guide.
