Magnetic Mass Hook

Magnetic Mass Hook

The Magnetic Mass Hook is the perfect partner for the Lascells Gravity Well, offering a fixed location for a mass.

Magnetic Release Unit

Magnetic Release Unit

Designed for use with either g by free fall systems or the Monkey and Hunter apparatus. The unit requires a low voltage, smoothed d.c. power supply at 4-6V and 0.5A. Supplied with 4mm sockets and an aluminium handle for use with a standard laboratory clamp stand.

Monkey and Hunter

Monkey and Hunter

An essential part of projectile studies is the ‘Monkey and Hunter’ problem.

Monkey Replacement

Monkey Replacement

A replacement monkey for the Monkey and Hunter apparatus.

Newton Scales

Newton Scales

A set of bathroom scales calibrated in Newtons.

Max 1200N in 10N divisions.

Ramp Set

Ramp Set

This compact Ramp Set is an ideal introduction to inclined plane investigations in
Physics. Made from MDF, the set includes 5 ramps and 5 carts, making it perfect
for small-group experiments and classroom demonstrations.

Ramp Surfaces

Ramp Surfaces

Expand the investigative potential of the Lascells Ramp Set with this pack of five
interchangeable Ramp Surfaces. Featuring carpet, rubber, sandpaper, smooth
plastic (HIPS) and corrugated plastic, the set enables students to investigate how
different surface materials affect friction and the motion of objects on an inclined
plane. Ideal for teaching forces and motion, the surfaces encourage students to
collect, analyse and compare experimental data while exploring the relationship
between surface texture, friction and motion.

Reaction Timer

Reaction Timer

For use with Lascells timers. The subject presses the START button and after a short random delay the light comes on. The subject has to press the button as quickly as they can in response. The timer records the interval between the light coming on and the button being pressed. No power supply required.

Resolved Forces Board

Resolved Forces Board

By using spring balances on an easy to understand layout the concept of balanced and resolved forces is easy to demonstrate. The attachment points can be put in line for collinear forces where the single force is the sum of the other two. For 2D work, angles and vectors can be easily examined. The durable white plastic-coated board measures 800 x 450mm and comes complete with balances and full instructions.

Resonance System

Resonance System

This original apparatus gives students a modern approach to a fascinating topic with great scope for imaginative research.

Rotary System

Rotary System

This simple but effective system makes a complicated topic into one of the most enjoyable lessons possible for all ages at secondary level.
It allows students to easily investigate the forces of circular motion so that they get hands-on experience of the effects.

Rotary Table

Rotary Table

A strong turntable suitable for rotational motion demonstrations.

Strip and Wire Tester

Strip and Wire Tester

Product code: LA30-035

Timer Light Gate

Timer Light Gate

An infra-red beam, high speed light gate for use with Lascells timers. The attached cable is terminated by a 3.5mm jack plug which fits directly into the timer so that no other connections are required.

Triple Timer

Triple Timer

The Lascells Millisecond Triple Timer provides all the facilities required for dynamics timing. The three modes of operation are activated by START and STOP switch contacts (4mm sockets) or by using Lascells Light Gates which plug in directly, hence requiring no additional power supplies.

Vacuum Bazooka

Vacuum Bazooka

This amazing device attaches to a vacuum cleaner and launches lightweight, hollow projectiles at high velocity.
When aimed vertically typical heights reached are 5 to 6 metres. Additional weights can be added to the projectiles for all manner of investigations into energy, acceleration, momentum etc. An essential item to brighten up the subject of dynamics or to amaze everyone on open days and science fairs.
As featured in the book “Vacuum Bazookas and Electric Rainbow Jelly” by Neil Downie.

Viscosity Kit

Viscosity Kit

The kit comprises a 1m long, 50mm diameter acrylic tube, fitted with two rubber bungs and supplied with five nitrile O-rings on the outside.

Wheel and Axle

Wheel and Axle

A pair of coupled solid Acrylic wheels 150mm and 50mm dia on a freely running bearing supported on an aluminium handle suitable for holding in a standard laboratory clamp. Threads can be attached so that mechanical advantage and velocity ratio can be measured.

Wind Generator

Wind Generator

A low inertia electric motor with plastic impeller. The impeller can be rotated using a hair drier or blower and a DC voltage can be monitored at the output. The output can be used to illuminate an LED, to demonstrate energy transfer or the system can be used as the basis of an investigation linked to renewable energy sources.
