Kinetic Theory Apparatus
Product Code : EL-POM-10380
Kinetic Theory Apparatus from Lab Exports demonstrates the kinetic theory of gases and related phenomena such as the thinning of air with increasing altitude, using a transparent cylindrical plastic tube with a rubber diaphragm at its lower end and a perforated cap at its upper end. The tube rests in a cylindrical ring with three equally spaced tightening screws for a firm grip, and a piston below the diaphragm, connected to a DC motor, agitates metal spheres of 1/8 inch diameter placed on the diaphragm to model gas molecule behaviour. The complete assembly is mounted on a base with two 4 mm socket terminals for electrical connection to the motor. Lab Exports manufactures and exports this apparatus from India to schools, colleges and laboratories worldwide.
