Energy System

Description

A fool-proof system for allowing students to
investigate the raising of a mechanical load by
an electrical input. A small d.c. electric motor
is geared down to rotate a shaft around which
a thread is wound. The thread is attached to a
load and the students time the lifting process
while noting the electrical input to the system.
It enables investigations to be carried out into
efficiency, energy transfer, power etc. Useful
at all levels from KS3 to Post 16. A limit switch
automatically stops the motor when the load
reaches the top. Supplied complete with
detailed instructions for many investigations
at many levels. Measures 200 x 90 x 75mm.
Main construction is acrylic.
