For demonstrating that some metals are magnetic whilst others are not and for general ‘Metal Identification’ exercises.
Comprises sixteen discs, 25 mm.
diameter 2 each of Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Zinc, Nickel, Silver, Bronze, Aluminium and copper.
One of each is stamped with the name of metal.
the other is unmarked.
A former with terminals and engraved circle marked 0 – 180° – 0 figured every 45°, wound with 30 turns of insulated copper wire, complete with a magnetic needle 75 mm long and a pivot for the needle.
This apparatus spins an electrically charged brass wheel spin, without the aid of a motor.
When the wheel electrified by a voltage source (battery), the slotted brass disc sets up eddy currents throughout the structure.
This electricity is then attracted to 4 strong neodymium magnets, causing the wheel to spin.
