Spring Balance

This simple unit can help the student understand the operating principle of pump and turbine. The unit consists of a rotor attached to a pulley via a shaft. It also includes 3 metal nozzles and a stopcock. When driven by a motor, the unit works as a pump, raising the water to higher potential energy. Whereas when the rotor is made to rotate by flowing water, the unit acts as a turbine.

With 2-6 V DC motor with a 15 mm Diam. ‘V’ Pulley on base with terminals.

To demonstrate the phenomenon of heat absorption and radiation between different surfaces. One 12V bulb is used as heat source and two parabolic metal discs used as different bodies, one slot is provided behind the discs to hold the thermometer. Two sockets are provided for power input. with two thermometers & plain glass.
