Many of your students have flown in airplanes, or know someone who has. Few understand the principles of lift. Even today, all of the principles of lift and aerodynamic flow are not completely understood. By and large, lift works because Bernouli’s Principle requires a partial vacuum to form over the wing of an airplane. This means greater pressure is under the wing, forcing it upwards.
With this wind tunnel and an accurate balance, you can clearly see the effect of lift in action. Activate the unit, and the apparent weight of the airfoil will decrease.
Useful for aerodynamics study. It is helpful for understanding what is the behavior of air when crossing through objects of different shapes and size.
Comprises a clear tube with a fan located at one end and wing shaped object for demonstration.
Provided with 4mm safety sockets for input. Requires small digital scale, low voltage power supply (e.g. POWER SUPPLY - Code: AR2040451 or POWER SUPPLY SW GENERAL PURPOSE 2-12VDC - Code: LB2633-001), and source of smoke such as incense candles (not included).
