Maxwell’s wheel is used to demonstrate the
conversion of kinetic energy into potential energy and vice versa.
The wheel is suspended by two strings from a
supporting rail. The adjusting screws on the
clamps are used for setting the horizontal
alignment of the wheel. Two axle hubs fitted at
the end of the axle prevent the wheel from
breaking out during its up-and-down motion.
Technical data
Wheel diameter: 130 mm
Weight of the wheel: 470 g
Moment of inertia: 10 kg cm²
Hanger rail: 370 mmx12 mm dia.
