Students can explore how a simple electric motor works by doing a series of investigations.
This St. Louis motor can be adjusted so students can study the effect of voltage and position of the brushes on the commutator.
The motor consists of a two pole DC armature. The brush holder, with two heavy binding post terminals, can be rotated for experiments.
The permanent bar magnets, supported by clamps, can be adjusted to the desired location.
This apparatus requires 4 D cell batteries with holder (not included) or a power supply and two connecting leads (not included).
Comprising 1 welding coil of 5 turns on former with insulated handle and short-circuiting pins,1 annular melting trough with insulated handle to show heating by induction,1 jumping ring which is thrown clear when primary current is started and a floating ring which remains freely suspended when primary current is flowing.
This motor-generator set gives students an insight into the physical and technical relationships on which electric motors, generators and transformers are based.
The modular system allows to set up different function models without tools: Various DC motors Series and shunt motor Synchronous motor DC generator and alternator Transformer.
This set allows the performance of 10 student experiments about the following topics:
Magnetic field of a coil
Conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy
Commutator
Direct current motor
Synchronous motor
Series and shunt-wound motors
Electromagnetic induction
The electrical generator
Engine-generator
Transformer
Generates both AC and DC.
When the two brushes of the generator are put in the two ends of the commutator, the output is an AC.
When the brushes are put in the middle of the commutator, the output is a DC.
Includes Instructions.
To demonstrate the characteristics of simple and primary cells.
Consists of a plastic jar with a screw-on plastic rim containing two adjustable brass electrode holders, eight electrodes of different metals and a porous ceramic cup.
With Instructions.
