Joule's Mechanical Heat Experiment Apparatus
Product Code : EL-H-10404
Joule's Mechanical Heat Experiment Apparatus from Lab Exports demonstrates the mechanical equivalent of heat, converting kinetic energy into heat energy through friction. A rotating cast aluminium cylinder turns freely on a cast metallic pedestal; rotating vanes on its axle generate friction that raises the temperature of water in a copper vessel after two to three minutes of rotation. The box slides freely on a wooden base and is fitted with a thermometer clamping device, two pulleys on an aluminium sliding bracket, and is supplied complete with two sets of slotted weights and cord (without thermometer). Lab Exports manufactures and exports this apparatus from India to schools, colleges and laboratories worldwide.
