About This Product
Students choose which capacitors to switch into the charge circuit, then press FIRE to send the stored energy into the coil and launch the steel projectile. By changing voltage, time, capacity and distance, they can investigate the kinetic and potential energy of the projectile alongside the energy stored. Besides buyers across India, the Joule Gun can be exported to institutions in Cambodia, Malawi, Equatorial Guinea, Egypt, Tunisia and Turkmenistan.
