PROJECTION GAS MODEL


APPARATUS
plexiglass box of ball bearings with motor and offset rod 202-11-D1
DC power supply 202-08-D
wooden tripod 202
overhead projector 201


DESCRIPTION
Motor shakes plexiglass frame to simulate random motion of atoms in a gas.  Increasing voltage to motor is analogous to increasing temperature of the gas.



NOTES
 
Must be mounted securely.  Make sure frame is level.
