Spin science into art!  Your students won’t believe their eyes or ears!

Spin the disk and create a hypnotic light display with ever-changing sound!  The disc actually picks up speed and the sound gets louder the longer it spins!  The disk seems to spin forever as it slowly transforms gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. The concave mirror base reflects the disk’s spectacular effects.  Use in a dark room with a flashlight or laser for an amazing effect!

Euler’s Disk provides the opportunity to illustrate and discuss a number of concepts, including:

  • The transfer of potential to kinetic energy
  • Friction and vibration
  • Angular momentum, gravitational pull, forces, and vectors
  • Transfer of energy into sound
  • Conservation of energy
Includes:
  • Euler’s Disk (3″ diameter chrome-plated steel disk).
  • 9″ Concave mirror base.
  • Nine holographic magnetic effect reflectors.
  • Instructions and scientific explanations.
