Ring Launcher Accessory
: EM-8662, includes the following:
•
Copper Ring: 2.5 cm inside diameter, 2.5 cm long, 48.6 g
•
Split Aluminum Ring: 2.5 cm inside diameter, 2.4 cm length,
12.9 g
•
Small Aluminum Ring: 2.5 cm inside diameter, 1.2 cm
length, 6.8 g
•
Induction Coil and Bulb: tungsten filament light bulb in a
plastic holding base (6.5 by 4 cm) with a copper induction
coil
I n t r o d u c t i o n
The EM-8661-220V Ring Launcher is used for demonstrating the
principles of electromagnetic induction and magnetic force. It is
an electrically powered projectile launcher. Using a conducting
but non-magnetic aluminum ring (included), you can show how
the alternating current in the electromagnetic coil induces an
alternating current in the aluminum ring, which produces a mag-
netic field opposed to the field of the electromagnetic coil. As a
result, the aluminum ring is pushed upward.
The optional Ring Launcher Accessory (EM-8862) includes a
heavy copper ring, a lightweight aluminum ring, a split alumi-
num ring with a gap, and a small light bulb connected to a copper
coil that can be used for more demonstrations of electromagnetic
induction and magnetic force.
